Are you sure?
I just tried it manually with telnet:

# telnet proxyserver 8080
Trying <IP Address>...
Connected to proxyserver.
CONNECT www.heise.de:80 HTTP/1.1
Proxy-Authorization:Basic blahblahblahbase64

HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established

GET / HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

IIUC the proxy itself supports HTTP/1.1 but not the webserver behind the 
proxy?

That's the same proxy that takes hours to download the patches with 
httpget.
