Sometimes I need to get response not only from web client. For example, now I am in Australia and I suppose that avito.ru blocked all networks outside of Russia to avoid indexing by servers abroad. So I need to get return code. The best way, as I think, is to call telnet:
Here is a simple bash script(GET.sh):
#!/bin/bash
echo 'GET / HTTP/1.1';echo 'Host: '$1;echo;echo; sleep 2 ) | telnet $1 $2
How to call it:
#./GET.sh www.avito.ru 80
