It looks like the HTTP protocol is hard-coded in HTTP::Server::Simple::PSGI, which is what Dancer uses when running in standalone mode.
https://metacpan.org/module/Dancer::Deployment has details on options for deploying apps.
As a quick test, I did plackup -s Starman -a ./hello_world.pl
and it answered with HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0.
