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.

A: 

take a look at wget or the w3c link checker

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.

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?

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.

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.
