Re: Difference between HTTP request and Proxy requests

ok for http servers to test them out use

telnet server.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: server.com
(few enters)

and the page is returned

For a proxy it is like below
telnet proxy 8080
GET http://server.com/ HTTP/1.0
Host: server.com
(few enters)

page returned
