This specifies the HTTP protocol version used in responses. If set
to \code{'HTTP/1.1'}, the server will permit HTTP persistent
connections; however, your server \emph{must} then include an
accurate \code{Content-Length} header (using \method{send_header()})
in all of its responses to clients. For backwards compatibility,
the setting defaults to \code{'HTTP/1.0'}.

A \class{BaseHTTPRequestHandler} instance has the following methods:
\begin{methoddesc}{handle}{}
Overrides the superclass' \method{handle()} method to provide the
specific handler behavior. This method will parse and dispatch
the request to the appropriate \method{do_*()} method.
Calls \method{handle_one_request()} once (or, if persistent connections
are enabled, multiple times) to handle incoming HTTP requests.
You should never need to override it; instead, implement appropriate
\method{do_*()} methods.
