   furl is a small utility for displaying the HTTP headers
   returned by Web servers in response to client requests
   .
   It can impersonate two different browser: Internet Explorer
   and Mozilla
 
 Is there a real benefit over lynx -dump -head and similar things ?

It' s more little and easy to use... a little utility. 
I must specify this in description, sorry.

$ ls -alh /usr/bin/furl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8,6K 2006-08-11 10:18 /usr/bin/furl

$ls -alh /usr/bin/lynx.stable

Just for reference, the libwww-perl package comes with some useful
aliases, HEAD, GET, etc.:

~$ ls -lh $(readlink -f $(which HEAD))
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 14K 2005-02-14 00:35 /usr/bin/lwp-request

~$ HEAD -S alcopop.org
HEAD http://alcopop.org -- 302 Moved Temporarily
HEAD http://alcopop.org/log/ -- 200 OK

This is libwww-perl. I don't object to furl, but so far I am not
convinced.

I object, since so far it looks like a worthless waste of disk space.

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.

See you,

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