Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: netcat
Hello
echo -e "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1\nHost: launchpad.net\nConnection:
close\n" | nc -vv launchpad.net 80
This simple command doesn't works with the netcat version that ships
with ubuntu by default (netcat-openbsd). It's the most common use case
of netcat for me. It works only after changing netcat to netcat-
traditional.
My system is:
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
packages:
ii netcat-openbsd 1.89-3ubuntu2
TCP/IP swiss army knife
ii netcat-traditional 1.10-38
TCP/IP swiss army knife
** Affects: netcat (Ubuntu)
