Non Gui HTTP server simulator

Hello Sun Managers,

We recently had a need to urgently troubleshoot the response from our Web
server towards a customer web client. Since we are neither in control of the
server source code, nor of the client source-code, the only way to
troubleshoot was to snoop, compare with standards and
request changes to the two packages, a long and tedious process.

During this proces we discovered a gui tool called TCPMON by Axis which woul
permit us to
simulate the server by modifying the real server response paste it in TCPMON
and send the modified response to the client. This should have permitted us to
iterate much more quickly to find a response the client would accept.

Unfortunately our servers are remote and we can't run gui's very efficiently
over the remote connexion (not at all even).

So can some of you recommend a text-based (or gui + text compliant) tool
similar to this. The ideal tool would be Java based like TCPMON, but we
appreciate info on other tools as well.

I will summarize.

Ragnar Moller
