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:

I like curl because it defaults to printing to standard output. (You can do it with wget too, of course, it's just not standard behavior.) The trick is that curl has just slightly fewer than 1,000 command-line options to learn. :-) My favorite is -I (--head), which tells curl to grab only the HTTP headers.
"elinks -dump 1 -dump-width 72 -no-references -no-numbering" can be immensely useful.
The wrapper scripts (GET, HEAD, POST) installed with the perl-libwww-perl package can be used both on their own and as nice examples of web programming with Perl.

jmeter is pretty good for load testing if you don't mind running java. http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/

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.
