A 101 response implies that the wire protocol is switching to the protocol 
specified in the "Upgrade" header field. I don't think it would be wise to 
ignore out, unless the protocol actually stays the same.

Note that this is indeed an edge case because it implies that the server is 
misbehaving. Thus, I'd rather raise an exception instead of making assumptions 
that will likely be incorrect.
