HTTP/1.1 servers MUST respond with HTTP/1.1, even if the request was

compatible with HTTP/1.0 i such responses..

The error on this web site is not detected by web-sniffer. But it is
reported in cache.log:

Indeed. Current Squid version by default only complains in cache.log about
this server error, without giving an error to the end-user.
