Regarding #7 in that list (Expect: 100-Continue), I think it would be nice
if Wikimedia wikis did this.
I know that at least in .Net, if I send a POST request to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php,
the Expect: 100-Continue header will be set, which results in an 417
Expectation failed error.
.Net has a switch to turn that header off, and with that the request will
work fine.
But I think it would be nice if Wikimedia wikis supported this.
I think this is an issue with something in Wikimedia's configuration
(Squid? or maybe something like that) and not MediaWiki itself, because it
works fine for my local MediaWiki installation even with Expect:
100-Continue set.
