The "http11" option has never been part of squid-3. It was an experiment
in 2.7 to see if sending 1.1 was possible yet. It looked successful so we
made it live in 3.1. But had to cut it out again quickly as you noticed. It
turns out the common browser software all wants to actually use HTTP/1.1
performance features which 3.1 does not support.

Feel free to undo the removal patch for your Squid-3.1 if you find those
problems not to be relevant on your network. Or to use 3.2.
