• Okay, why not try masquerading as a web browser yourself using telnet and take a look at your favorite web site. 
• Remember, step one is to use a Telnet client to contact the web server (Most web servers are on port 80). Thus, your telnet address will look something like the following: 

telnet www.somedomainofyourchoice.com 80

• Once you are connected, you should send a GET request like the following: 

GET /index.html
