Is it possible to test my own www retrival scripts using Web Sharing? I.e.
can I send http requests to retrieve web pages to my own machine without
being connected to the web? (Of course I won't be able to test the actual
download process, but I could play around with libWWW and check on the post
processing.) Has anybody tried this? How should I set it up? (As you might
judge from this question, I never do any cgis..., but a lot of web
surfing... ;) ).
