  #include <curl/curl.h>

  CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_EXPECT_100_TIMEOUT_MS,
                            long milliseconds);

Pass a long to tell libcurl the number of milliseconds to wait for a server response with the HTTP status 100 (Continue), 417 (Expectation Failed) or similar after sending an HTTP request containing an Expect: 100-continue header. If this times out before a response is received, the request body is sent anyway.
