+Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header,
+and libcurl will add that header automatically if the POST is either known to
+be larger than 1024 bytes or if the expected size is unknown. You can disable
+this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP as usual.
 
 To make multipart/formdata posts (aka RFC2388-posts), check out the
 \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP option combined with \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP.
