wget: a usful linux tool to check webservers' response

wget -S --spider http://www.google.com/

Using this tool was the reason to detect the week long problem in kobool server which caused 50% of the user to fail to open kobool.com.
The failure was that Internet explorer was hanging during load time.
I found that the header contained Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 which was not found in the old server. By commenting DefaultCharset utf-8 in httpd.conf, the problem was solved.
