However, I recently had to implement a minimal HTTP client. I assumed Host: was in HTTP/1.0, but unfortunately it wasn't and I had to implement the minimal portion of HTTP/1.1 required for compliance.
Keep up the good work then :) At your age I spent my time reading TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1: The Protocols and discovering unpublished operating system detection mechanisms in ARP and ICMP, putting them online and running home from school to see which governments' agencies had visited my website that day. They didn't bother hiding their tracks very much in those days.
