Server-side

  • After request to which the Expect: 100-continue is met w/ a non-100 response (i.e., the client is never told to send the body) does the client send the body and does the server spool through it? (Presuming the server is not taking the option of closing the server.)

  • Does a malformed request target get rejected? Malformed includes:

    • not-a-path — there should be a starting /
    • /foo% — the URL encoding should have two hex chars following the %
    • /foo%f — similar.
    • /foo%gg — similar.

  • Are well-formed requests accepted?

    • /foo%ff — (optional) this should be accepted, but there are legitimate reasons to reject it, as it isn't valid UTF-8 if decoded.

  • Is an HTTP/1.0 request with an Expect header properly ignored (not given a 100-continue?)

  • Are HTTP/1.0 requests sent an HTTP/1.1 response. (This is not legal. The response should be HTTP/1.0 for those requests.)

Optional stuff:

  • Is upgrading to HTTP/2 supported?
