+* Many HTTP clients can be used for testing, but `cURL`_ is a most helpful tool
+  for that. Here are some examples.
+
+  Showy the HTTP response code and the Location header pointing to the new location::
+
+    curl -sI <url>
+
+  Display the metalink::
+
+    curl -s <url>.metalink
+
+  Show a HTML list with the available mirrors::
+
+    curl -s <url>?mirrorlist
+
+.. _`cURL`: http://curl.haxx.se/
 
 
 TODO: describe a decent logging setup
