Comment (by dugan):

 Are you sure?

 Here is the situation one more time:
 Client requests 1.1
 Backend responds with 1.0

 Problem: Varnish returns http 1.0 response to client with transfer-
 encoding set, but transfer-encoding is not part of 1.0 spec.  Firefox thus
 ignores the transfer encoding and displays the chunking data.

 Proposed solution: 1) Varnish should return 1.1 if the client requested
 1.1, even if the server is 1.0.  2) Varnish should avoid using chunked
 transfer-encoding if the client requests 1.0.
