François,

I'm not aware of any generic tool available for testing HTTP/1.x
compliance, but I would like to point out that there are some aspects of
HTTP/1.1 that are rarely exercised by web browsers. Pipelining is
probably the number one feature mis-implemented by proxy servers and
origin servers claiming HTTP/1.1 compliance. Support for TE is probably
another less-frequently exercised HTTP/1.1 feature. The Mozilla browser
(http://www.mozilla.org) includes experimental pipelining support, but
you'll have to enable it manually (see "Edit : Preferences : Advanced :
HTTP Networking").

<rant>
I really wish the HTTP/1.1 spec included a way for servers to negotiate
support for pipelining. In the current world there is unfortunately
little hope for a web browser to enable pipelining by default :-(
</rant>
