1.0 is pretty much the entry level.  Any server should implement more or
less all of it.  1.1 savvy browsers will work fine with 1.0 servers.  I
regularly do manual HTTP 1.0 sessions for debugging cgi stuff, and for
that I find that most of 1.0 is worth remembering the details.

The 1.1 extensions are less important for simple web servers, but are
important if you're setting up a proxy server.
