Process raw HTTP request

Question

I\'d like to pass a raw HTTP request like:

GET /foo/bar HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; fr; rv:1.9.2.8         


        

Answer 1

Raw data in, raw data out:

nc example.org 80 < raw.http

If you need to pipe the data through some program:

cat raw.http | someprogram | nc example.org 80
