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

Here is your little mistake :

 

GET /http://server:port/_layouts/images/filename.html HTTP/1.1\r\n

You're asking your monitor to reach /http://... on your web server. This page cannot exist.

 

What you have to write into your send string is just :

 

GET /_layouts/images/filename.html \r\n

It should work with it.
