HTTP 1.0 vs 1.1

Jun 08, 2017

HTTP/1.0 will only work for retrieving (GET) content from a Swarm cluster. We do not recommend using 1.0 because of its limitations. Please use HTTP version 1.1+ for complete Swarm compatibility. Other 1.1 features that Swarm uses are:

  • Content-MD5 header

  • Digest Authentication

  • Persistent Connections

  • Range Requests and 206 response code

  • Pipelining

  • Cache control / Cache consistency
