Nothing is wrong. You are communicating directly with the web server (IIS),
which expects to communicate using http.

You may have to type without seeing what you are typing, as IIS won't be
echoing the characters back to you, and I don't think Windows's telnet
client does local echo.

I suggest copy-and-paste into the telnet client to avoid frustrating typos
that you can't see.

Thanks andrew - the cust and paste worked.

To get localecho workign i had to do this:

c:\ Telnet
then type in
set localecho
then type in
o localhost 80

then paste my "get" and it pulled the htm

otherwise without local ehco the copy past on the termian worked.

Thank you for your help.
