Could you switch to http 1.1 for the config server?

Here's what prompted this:

• After turning on DDNS and generating a new cert (on the ddns page), https config page loading became unusably slow.
• I found the problem was slow TLS setup per connection in Firefox (1-3 seconds)
• This was further exacerbated by the config server responding with HTTP/1.0 and Connection: close
  • which meant that every request for every resource was opening a new connection and doing the slow tls setup
• I've since somehow fixed the slow tls setup through various actions (rebooting, regening the cert, clearing the accumulated firefox router certs) and the page loading is acceptable
• However it still would be better to do http 1.1 without connection: close
  • this way the tls connections would be reused for multiple requests and page loading would be even better.
• Never paid attention to it before switching, is asus firmware also http 1.0?

This would require rewriting the httpd socket code, something outside the scope of this project.
