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:

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:
$ echo -ne "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" GET / HTTP/1.0
$ echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n$
(I left the $ prompt in the output, to show that there's really no line feed.)
Did you also try the client/server example in the man page (which looks correct to me)?
