i'm new to the list and i need a tool to test some web server. The tool i'm watching for have to send a raw http packet with a http request for a page from a specified IP
Just use plain old TELNET and type telnet www.the_host_to_test.kind 80 ---connection starts--- GET /dir/page.asp?var=value HTTP/1.0 Host: www.the_host_to_test.kind ---connection ends--- Make sure you enter a double new-line after the Host: header line. Depending of your backscroll buffer you might want to capture the outpout into a file. On Unix you simply can use telnet www.the_host_to_test.kind 80 | tee OUTPUTFILE If you want to do scripting I'd recommend using NETCAT instead of TELNET. For additional examples and other protocols you could look into the Checks/ directory of the MoSSHe monitoring system (http://www.wyae.de/software/mosshe/).
