That is for the server site but not for the client.  IIRC, the only
mandatory request header for a client has is "Host:".  This is optional
in 1.0 but we have always send this.  I see no benefit for requiring 1.1
and also no reason why a site should block 1.0 - that would be a pretty
lame DoS mitigation because bots could also send 1.1 without any
problems but don't do so because it is not needed.

There is no User-Agent header to minimize the amount of identifiable
information.  You want a User-Agent header to make debugging requests
easier?
