Hello

When I do a telnet command (telnet myservername 80) and then do a GET
command (GET /index.php HTTP/1.0) the server times out but from the web
browser I can see the page.
The server is on FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE with apache_1.3.26

Can you explain this?

thanks
Sean

The end of request headers is marked by a blank line. So the first
question is, did you press the Enter key twice at the end of the GET line?

If you need more that one header line, you would only do the double Enter
after the last header. For example if you need a HOST header for a
specific name virtual host:

GET /index.php HTTP/1.0
Host: www.my.domain
(blank)

Yeah I did press the Enter key twice.
Any other suggestions?
