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.
