# Send an "Expect: 100-continue" header in the request.
# This causes the HTTP server to end a 100-continue response
# immediately after receiving the HTTP header.  The client
# (Chilkat) will receive this intermediate response, and if
# it's not an error response, it knows that the HTTP server will
# accept the data that is forthcoming.
# The alternative is to get an error response after trying to upload
# the entire contents of the files.

# Additional parameters can be added to the request by 
# calling AddParam once per parameter.  
# See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/photos
# for more information about other optional parameters.
