[PATCH] esx: Correctly disable HTTP Expect header usage of libcurl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Adding "Expect:" to the header list stops libcurl from sending a
Expect header at all.

Before, a dummy Expect header was added that might confuse HTTP
proxies and result in HTTP error code 417 being reported.
