| Check if
the web server is running without a browser
Suppose we want to check whether the web server is running or not, but we don't have any browsers ( lynx, IE, Netscape ...), then there is a simple way of doing that. Just telnet to that machine on the http port ( port no 80 in general). % telnet <ip addr> <port no> And then, say "get /" (without quotes). If the webserver is running, it displays the HTML script of the homepage or basic info and closes the connection to the remote host. % telnet yahoo.com 80 Trying 204.71.200.245... Connected to yahoo.com. Escape character is '^]'. get / HTTP/1.0 302 RD Location: http://www.yahoo.com/ Connection closed by foreign host.
