Re: telnetting to squid

Two ways:

# telnet proxy 3128
Trying 203.4.148.3...
Connected to proxy.brisnet.org.au.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET http://www.yahoo.com/ HTTP/1.0

(press return _twice_ after the GET line. HTTP/1.x requires a blank line
after a request, to indicate the end of the request header)

Or, use the 'client' program that comes with squid:

/usr/local/squid/bin/client http://www.yahoo.com/

And the result (including headers) is dumped to stdout.
