HTTP-Connection test with telnet
recently I get the question how to test a HTTP Server connection without any browser (eg. on a server without any X-Server). The simplest way is to connect the HTTP Server with the telnet programm and request the resource with HTTP commands:
Here an example:
Open the connetion with the http listener port:
telnet www.oracle.com 80
Requet the resource /index.htm with GET methode and protocol HTTP/1.1:
GET /index.htm HTTP/1.1
This will get the complete html content of the index.html page
or
HEAD /pages/test.jsp HTTP/1.1
to get informations about the resource
