I think the main focus of the comments were to determine which of two  
tools were right about whether or not a port was in fact open, and  
not anything beyond that. I think you're right about testing HTTP  
with HTTP interactions, etc, but the scope here was just figuring out  
if there was an open port.

I think that's why you got the response you did from the list.
