After establishing the telnet connection between remote server and local machine, you need to type in the request content a bit quickly. Otherwise, connection will be closed by foreign host.
telnet cs144.keithw.org http
It's better to type in the whole content at one time.
GET /hello HTTP/1.1
Host: cs144.keithw.org
Connection: close
# enter: Sends an empty line
You will get the following output and the connection will be closed.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello, CS144!

.
telnet cs144.keithw.org http
GET /lab0/2023955801 HTTP/1.1
Host: cs144.keithw.org
Connection: close

Now it’s time to experiment with being a simple server: the kind of program that waits around for clients to connect to it.
-
netcat
terminal windownetcat -v -l -p 9090 # netcat output here Listening on 0.0.0.0 9090 Connection received on localhost 34206 hahaha ^C

telnet
terminal windowtelnet localhost 9090 # telnet output here Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. hahaha Connection closed by foreign host.
