Unfortunately the servlet specification does not provide a way for these to be sent, so Jetty has had to provide non-standard handling of these headers.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="jetty-100-continue"></a>100 Continue</h3></div></div></div><p>The 100 Continue response should be sent by the server when a client sends a request with a Expect: 100-continue header, as the client will not send the body of the request until the 100 continue response has been sent.</p><p>The intent of this feature is to allow a server to inspect the headers and to tell the client to not send a request body that might be too large or insufficiently private or otherwise unable to be handled.</p><p>Jetty achieves this by waiting until the input stream or reader is obtained by the filter/servlet, before sending the 100 continues response.
Thus a filter/servlet may inspect the headers of a request before getting the input stream and send an error response (or redirect etc.) rather than the 100 continues.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="jetty-102-processing"></a>102 Processing</h3></div></div></div><p><a class="link" href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2518.txt" target="_top">RFC 2518</a> defines the 102 processing response that can be sent "when the server has a reasonable expectation that the request will take significant time to complete.
As guidance, if a method is taking longer than 20 seconds (a reasonable, but arbitrary value) to process the server SHOULD return a 102 (Processing) response".</p><p>So if a request is received with the Expect: 102-processing header, then a filter/servlet may send a 102 response (without terminating further processing) by calling <code class="literal">servletResponse.sendError(102);</code>.</p></div></div><script type="text/javascript">
