# getUseExpectContinue

abstract fun getUseExpectContinue(): Property<Boolean>(source)

Specifies whether HTTP expect-continue should be used for store requests. This value defaults to `false`. When enabled, whether or not a store request would succeed is checked with the server before attempting. This is particularly useful when potentially dealing with large artifacts that may be rejected by the server with a 413 Payload Too Large response, as it avoids the overhead of transmitting the large file just to have it rejected. This fail-fast behavior comes at the expense of extra marginal overhead for successful requests, due to the extra network communication required by the initial check. Note: not all HTTP servers support expect-continue.
