I think if you deselect them it would seem the browser won't respond to 307 responses but I have no way of testing it as I am currently in Vista due to a bug in the latest Ubuntu kernel so I can't set up Squid. Anyone got a Unix/Linux server they want to set up Squid on to test 307 responses?
OK a friend of mine is running Squid so were are going to test this in a couple of hours, I will let you all know what happens.
My thoughts are that this will cause an infinite loop, which won't help anything, however if it doesn't cause an infinite loop it might be a useful tool to bypass the 307 dance. I have no idea what impact this would have on Phorm's kit though.
For example, if it causes an infinite loop, how many clients would it take to crash their switch or render it useless? If it doesn't cause a loop how will it be dealt with? Phorm have stated that they use user agent to detect non HTPP 1.1 browsers but they haven't actually said how they deal with them and there has been no discussion as to what happens with clients who are not in the list but have http 1.1 disabled.
