What is Status Code 100 Continue?

Status Code 100 – This interim response indicates that everything so far is OK and that the client should continue with the request or ignore it if it is already finished.

At the point when Expect: Status Code 100 Continue is absent, HTTP follows around the accompanying stream (from the customer’s perspective):

• The solicitation starts a TCP association with the worker.
• At the point when the association with the worker is set up, the full solicitation – which incorporates both the solicitation headers and the solicitation body- – is sent to the worker.
• The customer sits tight for a reaction from the worker (contained reaction headers and a reaction body).
• In the event that HTTP keep-alives are upheld, the solicitation is alternatively rehashed from stage 2.

At the point when the customer is utilizing the Expect: Status Code 100 Continue highlight, the accompanying occasions happen:

• The solicitation starts a TCP association with the worker.
• At the point when the association with the worker is set up, the solicitation – including the headers, the Expect: 100-Continue header, without the solicitation body- – is then communicated to the worker.
• The customer at that point hangs tight for a reaction from the worker.

On the off chance that the status code is a last status code, utilizing the earlier strides over the customer retries the solicitation without Expect: 100-Continue header.

On the off chance that the status code is 100-Continue, the solicitation body is shipped off the worker.

The customer will at that point sit tight for a reaction from the worker (contained reaction headers and a reaction body).

On the off chance that HTTP keep-alives are upheld, the solicitation is alternatively rehashed from stage 2.

Why use Expect: 100-Continue?

Programming interface POST demands that incorporate the Expect: Status Code 100 Continue header save transmission capacity between the customer and the worker, in light of the fact that the worker can dismiss the API demand before the solicitation body is even communicated. For API POST solicitations with extremely enormous solicitation bodies, (for example, record transfers), the worker can, for instance, check for invalid verification and reject the solicitation before the push body was sent, bringing about huge data transmission reserve funds.

Without Expect: 100-Continue:

Without the Expect: 100-Continue highlight, the whole API demand, including the (conceivably huge) push body would need to be sent before the worker could even decide whether the language structure or verification is legitimate. In any case, since most of our API demands have little POST bodies, the advantages of isolating the solicitation header from the solicitation body is immaterial.

Issues when the solicitation header and body are sent independently

On account of the high volume of solicitations that Urban Airship handles, numerous degrees of intricacy exist between our customers and the workers liable for reacting to API demands. This is anything but a strange wonder for most worker arrangements and methodologies, yet it presents a danger of raised solicitation disappointments to any API POST solicitations utilizing the Expect: 100-Continue header. This is because of the way that the solicitation header and the solicitation body are sent independently from each other, and should go through similar association all through the whole API worker foundation.

With the quantity of intermediaries, load-adjusting workers, and back-end demand handling workers that are actualized, demands with the Expect: 100-Continue header have an expanded likelihood of getting isolated from each other, and subsequently getting back with a blunder.

What’s in store:

We’ve generally endeavored to help Expect: 100-Continue. Notwithstanding, we have confirmed that our clients that utilization Expect: 100-Continue are accepting an imperfect nature of administration because of raised solicitation disappointments.

Moreover, most of our API demands have little POST bodies, and thus the advantages of isolating the solicitation header from the solicitation body are immaterial. These reasons have persuaded us to cripple uphold for Expect: 100-Continue administration wide.
