I'm writing a simple HTTP server which should play nicely with most clients, but is only meant to implement a subset of HTTP 1.1.

During development it would be nice to be able to validate that the generated HTTP reponses are HTTP 1.1 compliant. Is there a tool that can do something along those lines?

Thanks /Erik
