There is no way to force HTTP/1.0.  You can, however, disable 
various HTTP/1.1-specific mechanisms, including keepalive and 
chunked transfer encoding, see here:

http://nginx.org/r/keepalive_timeout
http://nginx.org/r/chunked_transfer_encoding

And this is what actually happens when nginx talks to a HTTP/1.0 
client.  Depending on what you are trying achieve, some of the 
options might help.

Note though, that if "a feature depends on HTTP 1.0", this likely 
means that it is something that actually breaks the protocol, 
including HTTP/1.0 protocol.  And it might not work at all, 
regardless of settings and protocols used, or may require various 
non-standard quirks.  You may want to be more specific on what you 
are trying to do.
