I’m trying to access some websites via Telnet on Windows XP and whenever I open a website or my 127.0.0.1 on port 80 it echoes back connecting to 127.0.0.1 ... or whatever other target I have typed.
After a long long time the connection times out and I’m left with nothing.
My browser works fine.
Is there something wrong?
What happens if you type
GET /after theconnecting...string? It could be that you’ve connected and your telnet client isn’t telling you, and the webserver’s waiting for you to do something.
