Again, a command-line HTTP client will do this just fine. I'd use netcat for this, since it'll let you write a text file with the headers you want. You can use netcat on Unix or Windows platforms. The Windows version is available here: http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/network_utilities/ Your text file might look something like this: GET /yourdirectory/yourfile.cfm HTTP/1.0 Host: www.yourserver.com Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */* Accept-Language: en-us Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Connection: Keep-Alive Csp-Can-Set: 'Gadget,User' Csp-Gateway-Type: 'PlumTree' Csp-Protocol-Version: '1.1' You could then call it like this: nc -vv www.yourserver.com 80 < yourheaders.txt Note that the quotes in your headers aren't standard; I just copied the values in your example. I don't know if they should be there or not.
