HTTP, like many protocols is based on (to some degree) Telnet.
In fact one way of testing a server is to Telnet to port 80, and type in
somthing like "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" (hit enter twice).
It would probably be easier to build a small java app that listens
on port 80, and on the first blank line, just closes the connection.
