It's a little bit more complicated than that.  In Polipo, there isn't
a one-to-one correspondence between client and server requests -- it is
possible for multiple client requests to be aggregated into a single
server request.

However, for each server request there is a ``principal'' client
request, the one that prompted the scheduling of the server request.  As
you guessed, it's in request->request.

Polipo is already able to downconvert to HTTP/1.0.  Why don't you simply
fudge the conditional in client.c:1731 ?
