HTTP conformance test suite

Are there any good HTTP conformance test suites?

I need to test some existing code for the standard compliance and do not want to reinvent the wheel and bump into various corner cases.

I'm not specifying the language I use. I expect suite to be generic enough to be adaptable for my needs – although I'd settle for anything that is sane.

From stackoverflow
  • take a look at wget or the w3c link checker

    Alexander Gladysh : Sorry, I'm not sure how this would help me. Could you please elaborate a bit?
  • RFuzz is HTTP fuzzing library for Ruby, though I'm not sure if it tests compliance specfically.

    Alexander Gladysh : Quite interesting tool, thank you, I'll use it. But aside from that I really need to *specifically* test for conformance.
  • Don't know how accurate or complete it is, but HTTP Lint looks like it may be similar to what you're looking for?

    Alexander Gladysh : Close enough, thanks. But I'm still looking for more complete solution. Looks like HTTP Lint does not test for e.g. reaction to bad queries etc.
    Brian Campbell : Yeah, hence the question mark. I wasn't quite sure what you were looking for, but it looked like HTTP lint would do at least some of it.
