    Ah, the host header is required by most web-servers. We'll try again:

    telnet 10.10.10.1 80
 Then type
GET /_layouts/images/filename.html HTTP/1.1
 Enter once
HOST: server domain
 Enter twice

Thanks Thomas but That's Strange .... I am able to browse to HTML file using server name , IP or host header ... I get "Up" text on my browser when I browse it.

 

To clarify .. I created Text file in 14 hive location on SharePoint frontend servers, Put "Up" in that and then change the file extension from txt to HTML ... I put , Send String : GET /http://server:port/_layouts/images/filename.html HTTP/1.1\r\n and Receive String : Up. Tried browsing the location using Individual server name , Server IP and Port and through Host header and got good response ....

 

Not sure what am I missing here ... Please suggest
