Sorry if this is OT, and that it's very newbie. The HTTP tutorials etc on the web all suggest that you telnet to a web server to experiment with HTTP requests and responses, eg
telnet www.some-server.com 80 and then send get /path/index.htm http/1.1 but I can't get anything except 500, 501 and 502 errors. Has anyone ever made this work? Does it fail because everyone has disabled Telnet access for security reasons? If so, how does the HTTP server tell the difference between a browser and a Telnet client connecting to port 80? Any pointers to more info? Thanks Eddie Bishop _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
