No, a server should respond with the highest protocol version it
supports. But there is some features in HTTP/1.1 it MUST NOT use if the
request was a HTTP/1.0 request.

NTLM can not be proxied by Squid-2.5 due to the ways Microsoft twisted
the HTTP protocol when slabbing their connection oriented NTLM
authentication method ontop of the message based HTTP protocol..

What it should, responds to it's clients with a HTTP/1.0 response.
