I use `curl -v --max-time 5 telnet://...:port` very often to check network connectivity as because the simple telnet tool isn't installed by default on the most distributions.
It seems like a bit overkill to keep support for a protocol like that simply for checking connectivity.
Using another protocol scheme would give you almost the same functionality, like:
curl -v --max-time 5 ftp://...:port ... the difference is only what happens when it actually connects. -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: https://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
