When compare that with git://repo.or.cz/syslinux.git

I don't see new files from
 http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/


And I can't see if LWIP supports HTTP/1.1


As I understand it, is the lpxelinux.0 will get HTTP/1.1 support
when:
  * the LWIP project has it
  * we, the Syslinux project, update our LWIP code
