how to access a specific web page using telnet?

[ypjofficial]

Hello All,

I want to retrieve a speicific webpage located on the webserver using
telnet.
(lets say ROOT/2006/data/view.html. I am using tomcat server)
What should be the syntax of the Get request to do the same.?

Thanks and Regards,
Yogesh Joshi

telnet webserver.org 80
GET /ROOT/2006/data/view.html HTTP/1.0
<CR>
<CR>

where <CR> means hit your ENTER/Return key

If the server does virtual hosting:
telnet webserver.org 80
GET /ROOT/2006/data/view.html HTTP/1.0
Host: servername.org
<CR>
<CR>
