Because there is still some dumb devices out there responding with HTTP/0.9. Eventually they will die, but server rotation is a bit slower than client rotation. But as I said it's not really something the HTTP/1.1 specifications need to go into. It's entirely up to client vendors to judge if they need to support HTTP/0.9 or not, or if just HTTP/1.x is sufficient as per the HTTP/1.1 specifications + HTTP/1.0 keep-alive (which is not in 1.0 specifications, in fact all of the HTTP/1.0 specifications is best ignored today). Most will be just fine with tha 1.1 specifications. Regards Henrik
