Telnet connection on localhost Refused

Question

EDIT:

I want to telnet into my web server on localhost, and request my php file from command line:

I have:

1) cd'd into the directory I want to serve, namely "/www" (hello.php is here)

2) run a server at directory www: python -m SimpleHTTPServer

3) telnet localhost 80

but "connection is refused". what am I doing wrong?

@metatoaster where http request on this question? Don't write google result ! Yes ! but, if a service run on in a thread, when thread is ended service will be stop or freeze. you want serve forever, need set as local service and use via control script. But don't forget you require a strong threading manager for all security bug.. — dsgdfg, Sep 16 '15 at 04:53

You're probably trying to connect to a wrong port. Check with netstat -lntp which port is your http server listening on. The process will be listed as python/pid_number.

as server runs, I get `Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 `. is this what you mean? – 8-Bit Borges Sep 17 '15 at 00:28

Yes, in that case you want to run `telnet localhost 8000`, not `80` – viraptor Sep 17 '15 at 01:27

If you're using Linux then try this:

$ telnet localhost 80
GET /hello.php
