Description

HTTP/1.0 has no Host header, which we currently rely upon.

This has been causing a whole manner of such errors for various people for a while.

While the issue should be addressed, I don't think this is really a major issue. I can't find any data on lack of support for HTTP 1.1 among UAs, which suggests to me that support is almost universal.

If we decide to not support HTTP 1.0, would it be appropriate to return a 505 HTTP Version Not Supported ?

If we decide to support HTTP 1.0 ... I have no idea how to deal with it at this stage. There are obvious differences in what we'll have to do for single and multi site installs.
