In telnet, you would type:
put 1 0 60 4
test
When you press "Enter", telnet sends a CR and LF [1], which are
sometimes notated as "\r" and "\n". The last number in the first line
of put should be the number of bytes in the job body, excluding the
trailing CR LF. In this case it's 4 for "t", "e", "s", and "t".
You get UNKNOWN_COMMAND because the server is a little lazy about
parsing. It only recognizes "put" if a space comes after it. That is
arguably a bug.
