Is there a way to perform http commands GET/PUT/SET whatever via a command line in ubuntu or windows xp? Preferably without installing 3rd party products. Being that http is text based I thought it would be alot easier to run in the cmd line.
I've been able to get what I want out of GET in ubuntu in bash via
$wget google.com
$cat index.html
This is kinda clunky. It would be nice to pipe the output or something, but even that isn't straight forward. C programs are fine too. I'm trying to do something like what we get with Fiddler, but more basic.

You have to hit return twice after the Host line. It doesn't get any more basic.
