Description

While working on a pure Scala driver for Mesos, I discovered that libprocess does not generate valid HTTP. It uses chunked encoding combined with HTTP 1.0, which has only been added in HTTP 1.1. Additionally it stores the PID in the User-Agent field with an incompatible format ('@' and ':' are not allowed).

I already uploaded a patch to reviewboard: https://reviews.apache.org/r/27865/
