I've got a python script that does a fair job of emulating a web browser 
(including threads, redirects, image/stylesheet loading, all with cookie 
handling).

The sourceforge project is at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywebperf/

with the download at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55210&release_id=107507

The bundled README explains installation and usage (it's pretty simple :)
