Once you have an IP address, you can also use a simple connect() on port
80 (or any TCP port you expect to be listening) then immediately close
the socket. It may be a little rude, but I have used this technique
while timing the response to see how the various protocols (HTTP, SMTP,
POP, NNTP, et c.) are affected by a packet-shaper.
