As part of the HTTP/1.1 testing, here are some useful test tools. They are all based on libwww, which is a C based Web library available from http://www.w3.org/Library/ Get the latest 5.1l distribution file from this address using HTTP - the FTP area hasn't been updated yet. Then try out these testing tools that make use of the features in libwww: - The Mini Robot makes heavy use of persistent connections and pipelining using GET and HEAD method calls. It is _very_ fast! More information is available at http://www.w3.org/Robot/ - The command line tool can do HTTP/1.1 PUT, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS, and TRACE. It can handle special situations like redirections on a PUT, etc. More information is available at http://www.w3.org/ComLine/ - The Line Mode browser uses an HTTP/1.1 persistent cache to do 1/1 cache validation and range requests to obtain partially cached entries. More information is available at http://www.w3.org/LineMode/ All the tools (as well as libwww) are available in source code and work on both Windows NT and Unix. Have fun, Henrik -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk
