[SunRescue] OT: name-based hosting and GET /

Thu Jan 25 18:41:22 CST 2001

You need to use HTTP/1.0, so just send the following

  GET / HTTP/1.0
  Host: www.whatever.com
  [blank line]

With HTTP/1.0 you'll get some headers you probably don't want:

 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 00:35:49 GMT
 Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix)
 Connection: close
 Content-Type: text/html

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
 <html>
    <head>
 ...

But you can filter them with awk.  Also, I'd recommend netcat rather
than telnet:

 % /bin/echo "GET / HTTP/1.0\nHost: www.whatever.com\n" |\
 > nc www.somewhere.com 80 |\
 > awk '/<html>/,/</html>/' > mycopy.html

Hope this helps,

  Scotty
