[WEB4LIB] seeking browser with command console that will accept HTTP commands

[Matthew Wissman]

John,
    You can use Telnet to send commands to a web server. 
On Windows:
    Start->Run->cmd 
    In the command window type: telnet <web server> 80

This command will also work on Linux (and probably any other OS with a 
command line interface)

This will allow you to send HTTP commands directly to the server and 
recieve the results back in plain text.

Hope this helps.
