It waits until it has read the entity-body completely and sends the 404 response then. This clearly violates chapter 8.2.3 (first server requirement) of the rev 6 of the HTTP/1.1 draft. 100-continue works pretty well, if the resource exits. Example: client->server POST /cgi-bin/test-cgi2 HTTP/1.1 Host: server.localnet:8080 Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain Content-Length: 11 Expect: 100-continue server->client: client->server: Hello World server->client: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 10:44:15 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.4 (Unix) Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html 11c 404 Not Found

Not Found
