I usually use example.com for this. ... I should probably stop spamming them.

  Example.com is an IANA domain, reserved for testing and documentation purposes. So, you're not spamming them. http://www.iana.org/domains/example/ http://www.iana.org/domains/example/

  From RFC 2606: "reserved for use in private testing, as examples in documentation, and the like." So using example.com is not bad, and a lot better than other commonly used names like test.com.

Looks handy, although I usually just use netcat in a loop for this.

I'm sure it's a useful tool, but if it keeps stats, then it's definitely not analogous to /dev/null!

@tome, sure but stats are very useful as a practical tool. @charliesome, one use case of this, is to deploy it (lets say on ec2), on lets say webnull.myhost.com, and point any webservice / client you wish to its http visible domain. You gain a handy tool that fakes http reliably, readily-deployed for any experiment.
