Hello,

I was wondering if it would be worth providing better HTTP 1.1 support in http.server. The way I envision it, there would be a separate HTTP11RequestHandler which would provide:

• a smart wfile with automatic chunk encoding (which relieves the API user from manually handling chunk encoding or content length calculation)
• keep-alive enabled by default
• HTTP 1.1 by default (BaseHTTPRequestHandler defaults to 1.0)

What do you think?

Regards

Antoine.
