Others include lynx (as mentioned), elinks (based on links, including a
graphical text-mode browser, um, don't think too hard about that), and
w3m, my own preferred console browser (which also has a graphics-enabled
variant).
For arbitrary connections to arbitrary ports, netcat ('nc' usually) is
also pretty slick:
$ echo -e 'GET / HTTP/1.0\n' | netcat localhost 80
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Netcat can also listen to ports.
Peace.
