if the matter is just testing whether the TCP server is listening on a
given port or not, would the following work for this purpose ?

-----
access-list foo permit tcp host x.x.x.x host y.y.y.y
access-list foo permit tcp host y.y.y.y host x.x.x.x

capture test interface bar access-list foo

copy http://x.x.x.x:NNNN/test flash:test

show capture test detail
