I can't get nc to do anything worthwhile. In fact I can't even get the examples in the manpage to work. From either my C6 servers or my F17 notebooks. For example:
echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc medon.htt-consult.com 80
You mean
echo -ne "GET ..."
right?
No. I did a simple copy from the manpage. check it out yourself. :(
The man page may be incorrect. You need -e in order to get echo to print out the line feeds properly:
I did try with "echo -ne" and that worked. the man page IS incorrect. Guess I have to submit a bug report.
Did you also try the client/server example in the man page (which looks correct to me)?
The localhost loopback works.
Ah, I just figured out my between systems problem. I was testing across subnets, and the port I was using is not allowed over ipv6, I only have an ipv4 rule for it. gumble. Corollary #2 of Murphy's Law: "It is always something."
Now back to it. I think I figured out my HIP testing problems; it has to do with the HIPFW options... Always firewalls, it seems.
Rule #1. When testing turn off the firewall.
