 Unix Tip #4159- July  1, 2012
 
Suppose we want to check whether the web server is running or  
not, but we don't have any browsers ( lynx, IE, Netscape ...),  
then there is a simple way of doing that. Just telnet to that  
machine on the http port ( port no 80 in general).  
  
% telnet    
  
And then, say "get /" (without quotes). If the webserver is running,  
it displays the HTML script of the homepage or basic info and closes the  
connection to the remote host.  
  
% telnet yahoo.com 80  
Trying 204.71.200.245...  
Connected to yahoo.com.  
Escape character is '^]'.  
get /  
HTTP/1.0 302 RD  
Location: http://www.yahoo.com/  
  
Connection closed by foreign host.
