Looking back I didn't go as far with my suggestions as I originally 
planned.  To correctly talk to the device exactly as httpget.exe is, you 
may need some custom <insert language of choice here> code if it's doing 
something truly unusual.  Once you figure out exactly the queries it's 
expecting, I'm sure one of us can throw together something simple to do 
the trick, or point you in the direction of how to do it yourself, if 
more than one/two lines of code are required.
