I'd expect you to find cURL useful, at least for the "poking at the interface" bit.

Why are you so interested in black-box testing? In my experience, the programmers have a fair idea of which bits of the system are robust and which could use some work, so building tests to fit the code is quite profitable.

cURL looks interesting. Do you have anywhere that shows how it's used? The site didn't seem to have stuff about black-box testing WWW interfaces from the way it's displayed on the screen.
