Yes, from the RFC:
This requirement prevents an interoperability failure when the
message is being received by an HTTP/1.1 (or later) proxy and
forwarded to an HTTP/1.0 recipient. It avoids a situation where
compliance with the protocol would have necessitated a possibly
infinite buffer on the proxy.
That said, it sounds like the only safe way to get asynchronous
updates with ippget is to use a multi-part content type, with each
event notification (or compound notification) in its own
application/ipp message part.
