It is a side-effect of the implementation; strictly speaking, there
isn't a version of HTTP after 1.1, so any app that uses HTTP/1.101
(for example) is sending an invalid request. In any case, you can't
exploit this...
Feel free to submit a STR for this and we'll change how the version
number is parsed in CUPS 1.2.
