Yes but since it's not supposed to be supported by HTTP/1.0 servers nor intermediaries, there used to be a long period of difficulties when using it on requests, with 1.1 components taking it as-is and 1.0 compoennts just ignoring it. Note that I'm not saying that it's not used, but rarely (which is not the same). There are plenty of very valid use cases for using it of course! Willy
