libcurl always uses HTTP/1.0 for all requests. The reason is simple: it
works. Using 1.1 at all times doesn't work. I have read the standards and
what clients are assumed to send in requests and I believe curl is doing
right. (I really can't remember any details right now.)

This will change however (the 1.0 part, not about being right! :-). The
current work of adding multiple connection support will force libcurl to
start using HTTP/1.1 requests, if nothing else.
