I open Telnet, but I still can't connect

0

I want to check an HTTP response message,(I should have seen a response message that includes the base HTML file), with this

To telnet into your favorite Web server. Type in a one-line request message for some object that is housed on the server: for example:

telnet cis.poly.edu 80

GET /~ross/ HTTP/1.1

Host: cis.poly.edu

First, I tried to do this using cmd:

  • I type telnet,
  • after that i type o
  • then cis.poly.edu 80

After this, I get connecting to cis.poly.edu... this never changes, it doesn't even say it failed connection!

Also, I tried this http://windows7themes.net/how-to-telnet-in-windows-7.html but it still doesn't work.

Alternative, install fiddler; http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ run it then simply open the url in your browser, fiddler will display the complete set of data associated with the request

You should use curl (http://curl.haxx.se/; curl -v http://cis.poly.edu/~/ross) for this sort of thing.

It is a prompt that waits for you to input a Request manually. See here for an example.

Telnet on Windows by default does not "echo" what you type -- just type the relative URL to what you want, and you should get the HTML page -- or a HTTP status code such as 404.

Example: GET /index.html

The host cis.poly.edu seems to have moved on to bigger and better things than serving web pages. Try using a host that you know is running a web server.
