SYMPTOMS
When you send a POST request to a server that is running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, IIS may send an &quot;HTTP 100 Continue&quot; response in the middle of the response stream. IIS sends the &quot;HTTP 100 Continue&quot; response after IIS has sent the “HTTP 200 OK” response.

This problem may generate a Microsoft Windows Internet (WinINet) API error. Additionally, this problem may cause the TCP connection to be reset.
