Just to jump back in, I just tested your assertions on telnet.

1. it doesn't need to be uppercase
2. you don't need to press enter twice.

I'm not sure what client you're using or indeed what HTTP server you tested
against but with the default Win XP client against IIS 5.1 neither of the
above is correct. You're right in saying if it doesn't connect you can't
issue a GET request, but with the XP client you don't get a lot of useful
feedback on whether it's connected or not by default. just so we're all
clear.

what client are you using?
