How to send a Head Http request from command line
Ok. I'm testing a new program component that is supposed to speed up our pipeline on the server. What it does is take in HEAD requests and shuffle them off to a different pipeline that is specially designed to handle HEAD requests quickly. The functionality works but now comes the question: how much does it speed things up? Or does it speed things up at all?

To originally test this I SSHed onto the server I wanted to test and telneted from there back to the box itself. This let me verify that the component handled the request correctly. I sent the telnet from the server itself to eliminate the http travel time as much as possible.

Now I need to time how long it takes for a request to work through the pipeline. I've been trying to

time telnet myserver

but entering in user information like the host and body information makes the time erratic

I.E.
HEAD /csmonitor/web/guest/world HTTP/1.1
host: preprod.dev.csmonitor.com


So I'm trying to find something I can script to give me a more accurate idea of the time.
The Expect program requires TLC which we don't really want to install so can anyone recommend a command line argument I can use to send Head requests? One I can script so I can use the time command?

Any help would be great. Thanks

qenable

qenable(8B)								PBS							       qenable(8B)

NAME

       qenable - enable input to a pbs destination

SYNOPSIS

       qenable destination ...

DESCRIPTION

       The qenable command directs that a destination should accept batch jobs.

       The  qenable command sends a Manage request to the batch server specified by destination.  If the command is accepted, the destination will
       accept Queue Job requests which specified the queue.

       In order to execute qenable, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.

OPERANDS

       The qenable command accepts one or more destination operands.  The operands are one of three forms:
	    queue
	    @server
	    queue@server
       If queue is specified, the request is to enable that queue at the default server.  If the @server form is given, the request is	to  enable
       all  the  queues at that server.  If a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to enable the named queue at the
       named server.

STANDARD ERROR

       The qenable command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qenable command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qenable command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
