You can use the Win2K telnet client. First, go to a command prompt, and type "telnet". Then, type "set LOCAL_ECHO", so you'll see what you're typing. Then, type "open www.myserver.com 80". Then, type in your HTTP request line-by-line. Finally, at the end of your request, hit return one extra time, and you should then see the response. Note that the Win2K telnet client will simply display the HTTP response, including the HTML output, on the screen, and unless you've increased your scroll buffer, you probably won't see it - also, if you hit any key afterward, it'll get rid of most of the response, so be careful not to do that if you want to read it.
