Alex,
The one and only known blocker to 3.1 sending HTTP/1.1 is Henriks veto.
He placed that on because the de-chunker in 3.1 required buffering the
*whole* request POST data before de-chunking or relaying on.
If the de-chunker could be converted to not needing the entire object
before de-chunking that would allow us to avoid half the workaround and
extra options being proposed to get the other bits working.
Can we just de-chunk requests over a certain size (8KB,16KB,?) into old
fashioned unknown-length request one chunk at a time sending out the data
and pass FIN/RST back at the end like would have happened previously? As I
see it the collateral damage of lost connections is unpleasant but no worse
than in HTTP/1.0.
At this stage I'm going to pull this particular chunking patch out from
the 3.1.8 package waiting a clean fix before then.
