It's called 'telnet'. ;)

Try this from unix, or windows95/windows nt, replacing hostname.com below
with the target host:
telnet hostname.com 80
then type (once you're connected):
GET / HTTP 1.0
and see what you get.
If you want to get tags and interpert them, you have to WRITE A PROGRAM.
Look up the unix / windows socket calls for "bind" "connect" and
"gethostbyname" and go from there. If you don't want to use Perl or Tcl,
then you have to use C or something else. There's no publicily available
'tool' that does what you want because what you want to do is just too
easy.
