FWIW, there's `wget --server-response` which also depends only on libc6 and libssl (btw, it seems like furl can't handle HTTPS)...

I don't really have an opinion on whether furl should be included, but just playing devil's advocate: the perl lib's is twice the size, but you'd need the perl interpreter which uses lots of megs. The furl utility is written in C, and thus should not need anything other than libc6, so could be a nice thing to have on very small installs, along with a small libc and busybox.
