Determine supported HTTP version by the web server

Is there a way to check whether a web server supports HTTP 1.0 or 1.1? If so, how is this done?

Solution

  • You could issue a:

    curl --head www.test.com

    that will print out the HTTP version in the first line of the output...

    e.g.

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 28925
Content-Type: text/html
