enables or disables a per-request flag. Passing a non-zero
<code class="parameter">value</code> argument enables the flag, and zero
disables it.</p><p>The following flags are defined:</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top"><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="constant">NE_REQFLAG_EXPECT100</code></span></p></td><td>enable this flag to use the "Expect:
100-continue" feature of HTTP/1.1, which allows the
server to process request headers without reading the
entire request body. This saves time and bandwidth if
the server gives an authentication challenge (requiring
the request to be resent), but has interoperability
problems with some older servers.</td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="constant">NE_REQFLAG_IDEMPOTENT</code></span></p></td><td>disable this flag if the request uses a
non-idempotent method such as
