This is a handy thing to do, because you can do standalone testing
with much more control than you have with remote servers.
There is a rather nice, and well-documented, tiny Web server in
chapter 14 of this recent book:
@String{pub-ORA = "O'Reilly \& {Associates, Inc.}"}
@String{pub-ORA:adr = "981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164,
USA"}
@Book{Robbins:2001:EAP,
author = "Arnold Robbins",
title = "Effective {AWK} Programming",
publisher = pub-ORA,
address = pub-ORA:adr,
edition = "Third",
pages = "xxiv + 421",
year = "2001",
ISBN = "0-596-00070-7",
LCCN = "QA76.73.A95 R63 2001",
bibdate = "Fri Sep 28 14:47:35 2001",
price = "US\$39.95",
URL = "http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/awkprog3/";,
acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
}
The material is available in the awklib/eg/network directory of the
GNU gawk distribution at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gawk-3.1.10.tar.gz
so you don't have to type anything in by hand.
Arnold has done a great job with this book, and with the gawk program.
The book (and online info files) describe some important new features
for socket I/O that are very cleanly implemented, and very little
known or appreciated (yet).
[Disclaimer: I'm a gawk beta tester, a Robbins book draft reviewer,
and a (very) long-time awk user, porter, and tester, and I must
confess to having rather warm and fuzzy feelings about awk. It is a
splendid little language. Some other languages produce a lump in my
stomach.]
