Here is an example telnet-session:
reif (remus) 41: telnet jfh00.fernuni-hagen.de 80
Trying 132.176.7.6 ...
Connected to jfh00.fernuni-hagen.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /neu HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 1997 10:39:50 GMT
Server: Apache/1.2b8 Ben-SSL/1.4
Location: %s//httpjfh00.fernuni-hagen.de/neu/
!!!!
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>301 Moved Permanently</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Moved Permanently</H1>
The document has moved <A

</BODY></HTML>

jfh00:jfh<~,13:32:33>telnet jfh00 80
Trying 132.176.7.6...
