OS 2 OS comunications

[Guest_imported]

I have a developer asking for a Unix command that can be entered from the Unix command line that will allow comunication with a Windows Web Server. He said in the past he was able to get the following to work:

telnet host port < commandsfile

The command file had these lines in it:
&quot;GET /

http://wwwservices/telnet/service1.asmx/HelloWorld?x=string

HTTP/1.1&quot;
&quot;Host: telnethost&quot;

I have not been able to get this to work. Is there another command other than telnet that would allow this comunication?

Thanks

Lynx? Netcat?

note that HTTP/1.1 requires full server name in request - so this script works on broken servers

i use
$nc proxy 8080

CONNECT irc.provider.xx:6677 HTTP/1.0

blah blah
