Hello,
I would like to remove HTTP 0.9 support from http.client and http.server. I've opened an issue at http://bugs.python.org/issue10711 for that. Would anyone think it's a bad idea?
(HTTP 1.0 was devised in 1996)
Please address the following comment from the server.py source:
# The default request version. This only affects responses up until # the point where the request line is parsed, so it mainly decides what # the client gets back when sending a malformed request line. # Most web servers default to HTTP 0.9, i.e. don't send a status line. default_request_version = "HTTP/0.9"
What do you mean by "address"? The patch changes this to 1.0. And, as the comment says, this only affects what happens when the client sends a syntactically invalid request line, so whether the server does a 0.9-style or 1.0-style response is unimportant. Regards Antoine.
