Hi,
> Is it possible to do a http request via a script or command line?
Yes. You can use socket(1) or netcat for this. Example
$ echo GET / | nc www.host.dom 80
More sophisticated stuff can be done if you hack the webcopy (Perl) source.
> Goal is to preload "stuff" in to a proxy
This is tougher, but I suppose it can be done (although maybe not needed).
