You might try telnet, we use it for testing.  Given a usl, say:
URL:http://void.nowhere.edu/goodies.html

> telnet void.nowhere.edu 80
Connected to void.nowhere.edu.
GET /goodies.html HTTP/1.0        <--- you enter this + CRLF, CRLF

HTTP/1.0 200 OK                   <--- response starts here.
..etc (document following)
