Twisted's HTTP implementation does this:

            parts = line.split()
            if len(parts)<3:
                parts.append('HTTP/0.9') # isn't backwards compat great!
            if len(parts) != 3:
                self.transport.write("HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\n\r\n")
                self.transport.loseConnection()
                return

So "POST  HTTP/1.0" becomes "POST HTTP/1.0 HTTP/0.9"!  (This of course
results in a 404)

Does anyone know what clients is the "parts.append('HTTP/0.9')" backwards
compat hack is there for?
