* make the HTTP version configurable, defaulting to "1.0" (HTTP/1.0) as
  HTTP_PROTOCOL, and make it changeable in the options menu -TD
* switch HTTP version to 1.1, adding an explicit "close" to work around
  the pitfall of persistent connections.  This is to work around a selective
  reading of RFC 2068 by duckduckgo.com - see
    http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2015-12/index.html
  -Axel Beckert

  pointer if the input had leading blanks (patch by Ruda Moura).

  been preset to an empty value (report by Andrew Arensburger) -TD
