Re: [swinog] bluewin.ch down?

Hi

Just for the record: the correct syntax is

GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.blaufenster.ch Connection: close

Unless you want to do the "chunked" transfer-decoding by hand, this should better be HTTP/1.0. You can then also leave out the "Connection: close", because 1.0 didn't support keep-alive. So, for the record, the correct syntax is

GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: www.blaufenster.ch

And he just wanted to show that the server was available.

Not all web servers support HTTP/0.8 anymore.

You mean 0.9. Apache and most other webservers degrade gracefully. The problem in the example above was the lowercase "get". Here's a proof that backwards compatibility always works:
