It's as good as any. What specific features of HTTP/1.1 are
you interested in?

Nope.

That's correct. The CherryPy framework handles HTTP/1.1
just fine--it's only the builtin server that is missing a
couple of 1.1 features (like chunked transfer-codings). If
you use CP with a 1.1-compliant server, it will happily
generate 1.1-compliant headers 'n such.

Hi Robert,

Basically a subset of those features listed in
