The initial part of a request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The server intends to send a final response after the request has been fully received and acted upon.

When the request contains an Expect header field that includes a 100-continue expectation, the 100 response indicates that the server wishes to receive the request payload body<sup>[1](#ref-1)</sup>. The client ought to continue sending the request and discard the 100 response.

If the request did not contain an Expect header field containing the 100-continue expectation, the client can simply discard this interim response.

Remove markdown line limit (#52) * Removes line length limit from Status Code Markdown This will make the data easier to use when we develop the API, it needs to be consistent, arbitrary new lines (especially in text format) will be a major issue, so some sort of workaround would have to be implemented, easier to simply fix the source files. * Removes line length limit from misc.

fixes 1xx code source reference numbering For the sake of consistency and future proofing (there may be a scenario in future where we need to access the source URL for each status code programmatically) it makes sense to have them consistently numbered.
