A couple of things........

 

 

1. Change the URI to request a file that actually exists... You probably have apache configured NOT to treat a request for / as a request for the default document (Usually index.html).

 

 

2. Add a protocol version. Otherwise the server will default to HTTP/0.9 and some versions of apache usually don't like v0.9...

 

 

So the request would normally be

 

 

GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

 

 

You can add extra headers if you require (Such as host: etc).
