Given your time restriction, you may better take the approach 
suggested by markspace in another reply - write a simple socket 
server, reading the HTTP request, verifying what you need.  I guess 
you'll also need to send out a manually crafted HTTP response back 
from you socket service.

You may read the Java Tutorial trail on sockets, if you need further 
help with that:
