Yes, one can test http servers via telnet. The command line version looks something like this: $ telnet HOSTNAME PORT GET / HTTP/1.0 Notes: - HOSTNAME and PORT should be the hostname and port where tomcat is running. - before typing the GET line, wait until your telnet program indicates that its established a connection - after the GET line, you'll need to press return twice. (The format of an http request is one request line, zero or more header lines, then a blank line; the example above has one request line, and no headers). If you're using virtual hosting, you'll need to use an HTTP/1.1 request, which has a slightly different format. $ telnet PHYSICALHOST POST GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: VIRTUALHOST (PHYSICALHOST is the physical hostname or ip address, while VIRTUALHOST is the name of virtual host that you're trying to reach. Again, press return twice when done). -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
