Hello, I'm going to be messing with some stuff at the raw HTTP level during the next few days and I'd like to make sure I'm following the standard as close as possible. Are there any tools out there to validate the HTTP responses that my server puts out to make sure they conform to the specification?

A: 

I've seen Fiddler complain about invalid HTTP protocol traffic, so I suppose it's one way to do it.

Check out Fiddler. I think it has something along those lines. I know it does give alerts when it gets an invalid HTTP response or protocol error. I'm not sure about a best practices analyzer though, but it does support plugins and scripts.
