Terminal emulator and website

[saif]

hi

I am not a user of unix and never used Terminal emulator. I have a problem. Please help me if anyone can help me.

I want to access website using any terminal emulator. e.g i want to open

http://www.microsoft.com

in emulator. Of-course it'll not show graphics. i only need to access website in text mode.

Is it Possible??, if possible how can i do that.

Thanks
Saif

hi bigoldbulldog

The command you are talking about is a linux command. I want to know if i want to access any website using terminal emulator 'viewdata' data. and may be i am running terminal emulator in windows environment.

When I need to access a website and see the raw data coming from the server, I use telnet

If you want to get the default site from

http://www.thedomain.com/thepath/thepage.html:

1. Open a telnet session to

http://www.microsoft.com

on port 80.
2. Send the following text:
GET /thepath/thepage.html HTTP/1.1<enter>
Host:

http://www.thedomain.com<enter>

<enter>


The raw text of that page will come screaming at you.
