r->assbackwards

[William A. Rowe, Jr.]

Folks,

  I have a two simple questions.  One; does assbackwards simply refer to HTTP/0.9?

  Two; why are we trying to support HTTP/0.9 in the year 2001?  How many pre HTTP/1.0
clients are out there to support?

  I know the proxy team would like to remove some XXX deal with r->assbackwards 
comments
in their code :)
