Hi,

There are functionality issues when HTTP 1.0 isn't supported?

Quick example:

http_ping https://chat.openai.com/

http_ping: SSL connection failed - -1

002041AE453D0000:error:0A000410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3
alert handshake
failure:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1586:SSL
alert number 40

While on Windows for comparison and what I would call expected results
using http-ping.

HTTP-PING https://chat.openai.com/ GET

   ─→     server advertised HTTP/3 endpoint, using HTTP/3

       1: HTTP/3.0, 104.18.37.228:443, code=307, size=11 bytes,
time=183.2 ms

       2: HTTP/3.0, 104.18.37.228:443, code=307, size=11 bytes,
time=186.2 ms

       3: HTTP/3.0, 104.18.37.228:443, code=307, size=11 bytes,
time=193.5 ms

       4: HTTP/3.0, 104.18.37.228:443, code=307, size=11 bytes,
time=187.0 ms

--- https://chat.openai.com/ ping statistics ---

4 requests sent, 4 answers received, 0.0% loss

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 183.215/187.493/193.535/3.764 ms

Best regards,

Daniel
