I think this is a command-line solution to your problem.
1. Open a telnet session with your web-server on port 80(http-port)
2. Send http requests
For example:
>> telnet www.something.com 80
Then you get the usual telnet response:
Connected to server.something.com.
Escape character is '^]'. =20
After that you can do your http requests, such as
GET index.html
Remember that if you are going to "stuff" things into a server/proxy, it
normally requires authorization.
