--expect100-timeout

Maximum time in seconds that you allow curl to wait for a 100-continue response when curl emits an Expects: 100-continue header in its request. By default curl waits one second. This option accepts decimal values. When curl stops waiting, it continues as if a response was received.

The decimal value needs to be provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not the local version even if it might be using another separator.
