Comment (by pento):

 Yah, I agree about `$is_nginx`, that's a little overkill.

 I don't really like fixing it only in `wp-api.js`, as then it's only fixed
 there, rather than fixed for anything that talks to the REST API.

 Do we have examples of the REST API being broken by the server only
 accepting HTTP/1.0 methods? If so, we could look at a more generic
 solution, but otherwise, I think a small change for weird behaviour in a
 popular web server is appropriate.
