"Grab a copy of Mozilla and the LiveHTTPHeaders extension. Watch to see what the server you access announces itself as."

Yuck, why all the hassle of installing and firing up Mozilla (+LiveHTTPHeaders) when LWP provides you with lwp-request (and HEAD)? Or if that's not installed on your box, what about telnet?

$ HEAD <url>

$ telnet <server> 80
Trying <www.xxx.yyy.zzz>...
Connected to <server>
