That's HTTP/1.1.  Fnord is not actually a HTTP/1.1 web server.  It also
does not support chunked encoding, for example.  Fnord supports some
aspects of HTTP/1.1, but that's it.  Note that a client can not know
whether a server supports HTTP/1.1 before sending the request, thanks to
proxies and load balancers not even if a previous request was answered
as supporting HTTP/1.1.
