Understanding HTTP

HTTP is used for so many different reasons. While working in the wold of point of sale terminals, I spent some time sending raw HTTP packets and parsing them in C. Lot's of fun!
Here's a quick little exercise on playing with HTTP, that i found in "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Web-Based Client Development"
1. Open up a command prompt: Start->Run->cmd
2. type "telnet", and press enter
3. type "o mokhan.ca 80"
4. type
"GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: mokhan.ca"
Then press enter twice
But do it quickly, before my server closes the connection due to a timeout!
