It's doubtful that the example script will work out of the box.  I've
found that I generally have to take it in easy stages - fetch the first

LiveHTTPHeaders is a really useful Firefox extension for tracking what

http://search.cpan.org/~ilyam/HTTP-WebTest-2.04/  is a really nice perl
module for writing more complex http testing parameters.  It even has the
ability to generate Test::Harness output.
