POSTs are submitted twice

[javiervegas]

This is more a curb problem than a zendesk-api problem, but posts are submitted twice (because curb does not seem to be handling "100 - Continue" responses well. For deletes this is not a problem (the first works fine and deletes the thing, the second returns a 404), for forum creation is not a problem either (the first one creates the forum fine, the second one returns a 406 "this forum already exists"), but for forum entry it is a problem, both posts work and the entry gets created twice in the forum.
I hacked around the problem replacing curl.http_post(final_body) in main.rb with
system("curl","-v","-u", @username+":"+@password,"-H","Content-Type: application/xml", "-d", final_body, "-X","POST", url) which works for me but assumes that curl is installed and in the path, which will not always be true.

I think I found the answer in this README for curb-fu

=== Troubleshooting

If you are POSTing data and curb seems to be locking up, try posting it with an explicit 'Expect: 100-continue' header.

You can set this per-request, e.g.
CurbFu.post({:host => 'example.com', :headers => { "Expect" => "100-continue" }}, { "data" => "here" })
or you can configure it as a global header, e.g.
CurbFu.global_headers = { "Expect" => "100-continue" }

... then make your requests as normal

however you feel best.

I'll try to implement this.
