Hello,
Today I read an article in which it is written that the Social Insurance Institution (in Poland) will only support the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
I know that various government and state institutions are sometimes behind in technology, but even with the protocol?
Is it the same with state offices in your countries?
Have a nice week.
Regards,
Piotrek

Yes, many government stuff is outdated. Some systems run very old software and therefore no current protocols.
IPv6 is one of those things, even TLS was supported rather lately on certain public services.

There is nothing wrong with 1.1. Of all the "outdated" thing they could've done this is harmless.

Re: The Social Insurance Institution in Poland will only support HTTP/1.1.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with http/1.1 In fact, any non-https connections on the entire internet are http/1.1 because http/2 was made restricted to https only (as part of the push for https everywhere all the time). Yes it was standardized a long time ago. No that doesn't make it unsuitable for anyone to use.
http/1.1 is also perfectly capable of having secure connections with robust TLS encryption.
Not sure why someone would be upset about a service only supporting http/1.1 -- in fact, something can be said about some of the challenges with http/2 and potential security issues with it (e.g. 0-rtt handshakes).

Re: The Social Insurance Institution in Poland will only support HTTP/1.1.
I have a toy fork of NCSA Mosaic that I like to play with at times. I can speak from experience that if a client supports HTTP/1.0, it is very trivial to support HTTP/1.1 at least at a minimal level. Essentially all you need to do is add support for the Host HTTP header. That’s the only mandatory requirement introduced by HTTP/1.1 that wasn’t already present in HTTP/1.0.
Due to the simplicity in updating HTTP/1.0 clients to HTTP/1.1, I see no issues with them dropping HTTP/1.0.

If you're still using an HTTP/1.0-only client it might be time to join the 21st century.

Requiring HTTPS for things like a blog, a browser download page, or a webpage with no way to upload data to that page in any type of form at all seems silly to me. I understand the requirement for HTTPS for financial institutions, shopping, etc.
