I'm trying to use port 80 to connect to a website(www.ucf.edu), and send a GET request, but I'm getting inconsistent results to other students using the same exact methods. We had to use SSH to connect securely to our schools server before doing this. When connected, we're instructed to send a get request "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" when I send this I get inconsistent results.
I've tried using Putty on windows, and command prompt of ubuntu on a virtual machine, to no avail.
Expected Result:
telnet www.ucf.edu 80
Trying 10.171.52.44
Connected to www.ucf.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\n
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: Apache
Location: https://www.ucf.edu/index.html
etc. etc.
Actual Result:
telnet www.ucf.edu 80
Trying 52.5.147.12...
