The closest thing to a simple HTTP conformance test I could find with a few minutes of Googling is HTTP Lint, which does some basic tests on the HTTP headers returned by a web server. However, the scope of its tests is rather limited; the C source code is available, so you can see for yourself just what it's checking.

For HTTP proxy testing, there are the Web Polygraph (open source) and Co-Advisor tools by The Measurement Factory. However, neither seems well suited for testing HTTP origin servers.

There are also several HTTP testing frameworks, such as HTTP Test Tool, which let you write your own tests. These could presumably be used to implement a basic HTTP compliance test suite, but I didn't manage to find any such pre-existing suite.
