Re: First Timer: HTTPS And http_url_post_stmf - Issues

[Mike Schwartz <mike.schwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I think I solved my own problem.



   As a test, I commented out the "Expect:  100-continue" line from
   HTTPAPIR4, recompiled, tested, and everything worked as expected this
   time.  Now I just need to come up with a good way to trigger including
   or excluding this line, as needed.



   Thanks,

   Mike Schwartz
