I can totally believe there are users out there relying on curl's HTTP 0.9
behaviour to use curl as a poor man's netcat. With the -X, --request-target
and -H options you have reasonable control over what is sent to the remote
server, and curl will simply dump whatever the remote server sends to stdout.
I suspect (without proof) that removing this entirely would break lots of
scripts relying on this.
