I don't think it's a good idea to block HTTP/1.0 requests. Your system,
your choice, of course.

HTTP/1.1 would require support for things that currently may not be
present, such as chunked transfer encodings, whereas HTTP/1.0 is
perfectly fine for the expected use.

I agree it should provide an User-Agent, though.
