Yes, that is correct.  But my point is why does netcat defaults to a LF
behavior (don't know if there is the option of sending CRLF instead of LF)
and telnet defaults defaults to CRLF ?
 
netcat is very much used to "talk" to HTTP servers. So why does netcat does
not use by default CRLF ?  Again, this breaks HTTP RFC rules concerning HTTP
server and HTTP client behavior...

Arr!   And what relation does this topic have to the list charter?
