If you are planning to test a remote or local web server running on 80 port it could be easily done by using telnet command from the linux shell or windows command line.
telnet www.yahoo.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.yahoo.com
and hit enter two times and voila 
You can easily check a web server header using a simple telnet utility.
telnet www.yahoo.com 80
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
and hit Enter two times.
You will get a header response with the HTTP status code….
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
