IdHTTP Post with ver 1.1

Subject:IdHTTP Post with ver 1.1

In Indy 9.0.x it states that IdHttp objects down shift to HTTP ver 1.0 when
issuing a Post command.

The apparent reason for this is that "some servers" do not correctly handle
code 100 responses according to the RFC.

Question: does anyone have a list of the "some servers" (versions) that are
guilty in this respect?

Specifically, my application is talking to an IBM Apache server:
IBM_HTTP_SERVER/1.3.19.5  Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) and I need to know if it is
safe to use HTTP 1.1 (in my tests, it seems to work fine with 1.1, but I
would like to have the reassurance).

Regards,
AndrewFG
