I've had good luck with both curl and wget. There are other tools like
smokeping and httping that ca test a site, but I've had great luck
combining wget / curl with bash or perl. Here are two example scripts
that might help you:

http://prefetch.net/code/http-ping.pl

Hope that helps,

jmeter is pretty good for load testing if you don't mind running java.

What kind of testing? Throughput? Testing the output of scripts? Broken 
link detection? You need to define what you mean by 'http testing'.

For simple 'how fast is my webserver' testing, 'ab' works ok and
is part
of the default Apache webserver install.
