Netcat worx on more than httpd. (for instance, oh... everything!) Therefore RFC 2616 and all other http RFCs are irrelavent. Now drop it! B.

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...
