proxy-expect-header
Use this entry to control whether the ‘expect: 100-continue’ header is handled natively, or whether it is forwarded to the junctioned server.
Syntax
proxy-expect-header = {yes|no}Description
If a server receives an Expect HTTP request header, with a value of '100-continue', it is expected to respond with either a 417 (Expectation Failed) or 100 (Continue) status. WebSEAL, as per the specification, will by default forward the request onto the junctioned server and allow the junctioned server to respond with a 417 or 100. In the event that the junctioned server does not support the 'Expect' header this configuration entry, when set to 'no', will force WebSEAL to respond with a 100 status on behalf of the junctioned server.
Options
- yes
-
The ‘expect: 100-continue’ header is proxied to the junctioned server for processing.
- no
- The ‘expect: 100-continue’ header is handled locally.
