Squid, possibly the most deployed cache, is still 1.0.

That said, it honours most of 1.1, so its kind of bogus to treat it as a
1.0 device, but until the remaining MUST items are implement it will
continue to report 1.0.

RFC2616 does have a useful recipe for talking to 1.0 and 1.1 items IIRC,
but I don't remember if its for origins or clients that they provide it.
