Yes, not installed is a different question line than does not work.

If you are shy of installing, there is telnet:

Code:

(
 echo "GET target_URI HTTP/1.0\r
\r"
 while [ 1 ]
 do
   sleep 1
   echo
 done
) | telnet host_or_ip 80_or_specified_port >file_out 2>log_file

You have to remove the HTTP header, of course.
