I’m trying this out of curiosity, but getting (e.g.):

  HTTP/1.0 400 Invalid HTTP Request

My mistake, or are there other working end-points out there (I tried google, yahoo, and cbc.ca)?

You're not making a mistake, they just don't give an interesting response to this type of request. The only server I know of that actually uses it for something is Icecast (a music streaming server).

Ah!!! Perfect. I’ve got icecast in my life. Thx for the tip.
