You might take a peek at some of Apache's testing software:

http://httpd.apache.org/test/


Some pieces of their perl framework might be applicable, perhaps?

HTTP Lint:

http://zamez.org/httplint


Fuzzing, if you just want to break something:

http://rfuzz.rubyforge.org/


Also, here's a rather lengthy list of testing tools that might give you
something to chew on, although most are targeted at web application testing,
rather than specifically testing HTTP compliance/capabilities:
