:> But 1.0 is nowdays still the basic right?
:
: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.

:Andrew
1.1 is fairly important for both, because not only does 1.1 hack, er, 'fix'
the persistent connection protocol, it also requires the Host: header (1)
so as clients conform to 1.1, the server is guarenteed the ability to
determine the virtual host from the Host: header rather then having to
assign unique IP's to each virtual host.
note(1): the server is required to return a failure code if the client
says it is using HTTP/1.1 but does not supply a Host: mime header.
