Try
| Code: |
GET /index.php HTTP/1.1
|
All the URLs must begin with / after a GET.

|

I'm trying to get a txt file from telnet, but when I type GET /filename.txt http/1.0 (or 1.1), I get a 400 error. Do I need additional headers?

With HTTP/1.0, you can type:
| Code: |
GET /filename.txt HTTP/1.0
|
Error 400 occurs because you type http/1.0 not HTTP/1.0.
HTTP/1.1 is more complex. To have the same result, you must type the following:
| Code: |
GET /filename.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: hostname
Connection: Close
|
Change hostname with your host's name (you can use for example 127.0.0.1) and the Connection header must be added in order to be fully conforming to standards.

Sorry, that was a bit confusing. I am telnetting in to my server on port 80. I want to get a text file that is in my htdocs folder. I type GET /filename.txt http/1.1 and I get a 400 error.
hmm, I just tried to get my index.html in the same manner and got the same error....what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you can give.
