None here.  You can still send the "Host:" header, as HTTP/1.1 does, in
order to help select the proper virtual host from servers where the virtual
hosts are not IP based; by saying HTTP/1.0, you should get a 1.0 style
response, and the file you were expecting..   I believe this is what
Netscape 2.0 does.
