Can someone please explain to me why this is so:
Am I missing something?
I also tried restarting and reconnecting.
Edit: Actually, sending an invalid HTTP request in telnet yields a response from the server, but sending a valid one yields a gateway timeout. Surely if I receive the following response when sending an invalid request, that means that I am successfully connecting to the server?
- I can ping www.google.com
- telnet www.google.com 80 works, I send a http request and then receive a server response
- I get gateway timeouts when pointing my browser (IE or Firefox) to www.google.com
