For an example of HTTP/1.1, you can go to http://puck.nether.net/ and http://www.ttgcitn.com/ as examples. They are both on the same machine. There are many virtual hosts there that are done with http/1.1, and only one that is done with an extra IP. - Jared Pete Davis graced my mailbox with this long sought knowledge:
Am I getting confused here myself, or are we talking about HTTP/1.1 rather than HTML 1.1 ?
We are in fact talking about HTTP/1.1. It was a quick brain typo.
One good reason at the moment for not moving to only providing support for HTTP/1.1 is the lack of support for it in lynx, which many blind people use as a browser, and lack of support for which by ISPs would probably be fairly politically unpopular.
Lynx 2.5 and 2.6 appear to be HTTP/1.1 compliant and support the host feature that we are talking about. (Atleast in the testing we have done).
