[issue21224] BaseHTTPRequestHandler, update the protocol version to http 1.1 by default?

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Victor, that chunked support for server requests is optional, and not actually required (my quote was wrong; see my message after the one you quoted).

The client already does HTTP 1.1 by default:
>>> http.client.HTTPConnection._http_vsn_str
'HTTP/1.1'

It is already possible to make a working HTTP 1.1 server by setting protocol_version. What things do you think would make the HTTP 1.1 server implementation more complete?
