There is most definitely PUT in HTTP/1.0
http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/rfc1945.html#PUT
HTTP/1.1 really just made Host mandatory, addressed some caching issues, added
pipe-lining and chunked transfer encodings. I think it added keep-alive as
well.
If we really want to be only HTTP/1.0, then we should look at removing the use
of "Host" header too. Then simpletest would be truly http/1.0 and work on
almost no Web servers.
