Previously, http.client would always send content body immediately and ignore any 100 responses. This change makes HTTPClient.request() wait for a Continue response if the Expect: 100-Continue header is set, and adds a parameter to HTTPClient.getresponse() that will cause it to return 100 responses instead of eating them.
