Okay. FYI, I'm rewriting some documentation (and fixing code) for a
tool that generates PURGE requests so I would like to list any edge
cases where special care might be warranted.

Because of the broken implementation of HTTP/1.0, I would like to
switch the tool to using HTTP/1.1 (which works much better in my
tests). So if I understand correctly, Squid PURGE has always
supported the HTTP/1.1 protocol and this change shouldn't break
anything. Hmm... I wonder why the original authors of the tool
seemed to believe otherwise.

Regarding PURGE of Vary objects. The solution is just not to include
a Vary in the PURGE, correct? So all variants are purged.
