… or you could use curl instead of wget and telnet

For the sourcecode:
curl almosteffortless.com

For the headers:
curl -I almosteffortless.com

For everything else:
curl –help

wget -S is cool as I did not know about that option in wget. It does however annoyingly stick a index.html in your current path.

I have this in my .zshrc.

function http_headers {
curl=’whence curl’
curl -I -L $@
}

Which will do basically the same thing with curl minus cluttering up my path. Keep in mind whence won’t work in bash, you’ll need to replace it with which or whatever bash offers for a speeder internal command.
