Summary

Controls the behavior of the “Expect: 100-Continue” header.

Types

• bool
• integer

Default

1048576

Constant

GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions::EXPECT

Set to true to enable the “Expect: 100-Continue” header for all requests that sends a body. Set to false to disable the “Expect: 100-Continue” header for all requests. Set to a number so that the size of the payload must be greater than the number in order to send the Expect header. Setting to a number will send the Expect header for all requests in which the size of the payload cannot be determined or where the body is not rewindable.

By default, Guzzle will add the “Expect: 100-Continue” header when the size of the body of a request is greater than 1 MB and a request is using HTTP/1.1.

Note

This option only takes effect when using HTTP/1.1. The HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/2.0 protocols do not support the “Expect: 100-Continue” header. Support for handling the “Expect: 100-Continue” workflow must be implemented by Guzzle HTTP handlers used by a client.
