    It's not clear why you want to do this, for it would be really shocking if a Web server does not support HTTP/1.0 these days.

     

    The default HTTP monitor uses v0.9, and you can use "curl" with either "--http1.0" or "--http1.1" flags to check version support.

    Well, do not use the default HTTP monitor - not a recommended practice! Create a separate HTTP monitor, with a "send string" of the following as the minimum:

     

    GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

     

    .
