I'm learning http, and trying to use telnet to send my own http requests.
In the command prompt, I entered:
telnet google.com 80
Result:
The screen is cleared and I see a blinking cursor.
1. Why don't I see any indication that I'm connected?
Now, trying to type an http command (get index.html...)
I see the cursor moving to the right as I type, but I don't see the letters appear on the screen. Only blanks.
2. Why is that?
(Using windows7 64 bit)
