If so, what are they?
I ask only because I am making a web server, and am not sure if I should spend time worrying about a client not being HTTP/1.1 (sending a good response etc).

Certainly they still exist; and at the very least, they still could exist. Many programs that aren’t web browsers that make HTTP request use HTTP/1.0 to just make
HEADrequests because HTTP/1.0 doesn’t require as much information from the client. You should definitely support them if you are trying to make a massively supported web server.Internet Explorer 6.0 isn’t widely used, but it’s still generally supported because the world hasn’t yet abandoned it. (By the way, that isn’t me condoning the continued existence of IE6.)
