Well, the reason I came across it (as you may be able to guess yourself) is writing a test suite for HTTP parsing, and checking that the parsed version is what is sent. However, a more "common" reason I can see is if you are wanting to do something that can only be done with an HTTP/1.1 server and not an HTTP/1.0 one (as sending some such requests to an HTTP/1.0 server is non-conforming). -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>
