The squidclient tool fits into the niche gap between telnet and lynx.
Allowing a simple input of the request URL and optional other details
and producing a dump of the results. It has no large dependencies.

To test through the proxy:
   squidclient http://example.com/

To test without proxy:
   squidclient -h example.com -p 80 /
