Yes. Simply telnet to the server and issue a get command. You should at least get an error message back. Type GET / HTTP/1.1 [return] [return] The server should respond with a HTTP/1.1 200 OK, and dump the HTML for the index page - and actually if you do something wrong it should respond with an error - in either case it's working. Try it locally instead of remotely first. > Is there something about HTTP that I am missing? If everything is set up right, your ISP is probably blocking incoming requests on certain ports, and you've picked one. It's common for broadband ISP's to block these requests. Of course, the excuse they use is that it protects you from virus infections etc. and to cut down on bandwidth, but the real reason is because they want to charge more for that sort of access.
