The pattern isn't good enough - the stats I've seen show about that
maybe 2/3rds of the Mozilla fetches are coming from 1.1 or 1.2; the
other third from 1.0 or earlier. You need to check for that case as
well.
As an aside, aws does document-level filtering on arbitrary http
fields, and WN allows conditional text in the document based on
various HTTP header fields.
