Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Update documentation for http.continue option
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:35:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381530945-90590-3-git-send-email-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1381530945-90590-1-git-send-email-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
Explain the reason for and behavior of the new http.continue option, and that it
is disabled by default. Furthermore, explain that it is required for large
GSS-Negotiate requests but incompatible with some proxies.
