--- Comment #2 from Evan Callaway <evan.callaway at ipconfigure.com> ---
I agree, going forward using HTTP/1.1 would be the better solution.  Naively,
HTTP/1.1 was supposed to be backwards compatible with 1.0, though I would bet
that in practice there will be servers that strictly require 1.0.

It's my understanding that you're correct-- we should favor the abs_path except
when required in HTTP/1.0.  With 1.1 requests we should be able to always use
abs_path combined with the Host header as it's possible to reconstruct the full
path.  I will have to review the spec to be certain.
