Telnet http commands (OT?)

[laurent.herve23]

Hi all,

I'm not authoring web pages, my apologies if it is OT :

i have troubles to retrieve the http://www.lemonde.fr
main page throught telnet. I tried to understand this site
but intellitamper crashes, i did also a scan with Angry
Ip scanner to see all actives ports. But really...
When i use Netcat with HTTP/1.1 and just 2 basic headers
like Host and Connection (Close) i'm redirected to the
same page i just want to pipe to stdout ! how is that
possible ...? otherways when i try to open the
tag.lemonde.fr in telnet i get a 302 : this page has moved,
but when i open the same page in Firefox it get the
site (i guess the index.html)
- how can i see wht IP my browser is just working on ?

To add a few explanations, i have a very small DOS
computer wich has only a HTML viewer but there is no
good browser available (the hplx), therefore i wanted
to GET some pages manually with telnet.

for the moment i can't get the " / " page manually
that's the problem, at least on this site.

thanks for any help,

Ok thank you, but remains the fact that if i try to open the
www.lemonde.fr in a browser using the IP adress, i get :

Ok thank you, but remains the fact that if i try to open the
www.lemonde.fr in a browser using the IP adress, i get :

The requested URL "/", is invalid.

So presumably the server is configured to serve "www.lemonde.fr", but
doesn't have a default site configured for when a Host header isn't
specified.

When i paste the IP adress of www.lemonde.fr in adress bar
i get an error ...
