force streamripper to use HTTP/1.0

Streamripper 1.64.6 recently started to fail for me while trying to rip a stream, exiting with :

  error -28 [SR_ERROR_INVALID_METADATA]

Investigating turned up a long-standing open bug upstream for this -- https://sourceforge.net/p/streamripper/bugs/193/ Essentially, streamripper sends an HTTP/1.1 request for the stream but doesn't support chunked transfer encoding and fails if the response uses that.

As the upstream bug notes, the solution should be for streamripper to support chunked transfer encoding. Until then, a quick and dirty fix may be to patch streamripper to use HTTP/1.0 rather than HTTP/1.1. https://sourceforge.net/p/streamripper/bugs/193/#6a82 contains a patch (which I've attached) that does just that.
