Will the html be delivered properly to the browser, or will it lack formatting? Will it get delivered at all?

I'm assuming you mean "without including HTTP response headers", as the browser sends a HTTP request anyway.

It will actually work, since HTTP/0.9 did not have any headers – clients sent a single GET /path line for a request, and the server just dumped the file in return.

So if the server response doesn't start with HTTP/1, the client will assume it's talking to a HTTP/0.9 server and that the entire response is a text/html page.
