In the following tutorial we are going to use all of them in different examples in different ways. To use netcat-traditional implementation use "nc.traditional" command To use netcat-openbsd implementation use "nc" command.

On Ubuntu there are 3 packages called netcat-openbsd, netcat-traditional and ncat. Means it is available from multiple vendors.īut most of them have similar functionality. So the first thing to do would be to setup netcat on your machine. This can be understood only by using and playing with it. Such a definition sounds too generic and make it difficult to understand what exactly this tool does and what is it useful for. More technically speaking, netcat can act as a socket server or client and interact with other programs at the same time sending and receiving data through the network. So basically netcat is a tool to do some bidirectional network communication over the TCP/UDP protocols. At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and investigation tool, since it can produce almost any kind of correlation you would need and has a number of built-in capabilities. Netcat is designed to be a dependable "back-end" device that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts.

The netcat manual defines netcat as Netcat is a computer networking service for reading from and writing network connections using TCP or UDP. Therefore its called the "Swiss-army knife for TCP/IP". So it is a small tool that is packed with lots of features. I did not specify a ServerName in my Apache config, but even after I specified ServerName 127.0.0.1:80 in /etc/httpd/conf/nf and restarted Apache, it still required the Host header and it still didn’t care what the content of the Host header was (so long as it was not empty).Its a "power version" of the traditional telnet program.Īpart from basic telnet functions it can do various other things like creating socket servers to listen for incoming connections on ports, transfer files from the terminal etc. I also found that Apache didn’t care what the Host header was when using HTTP/1.1, just so long as something was there: However I did find that I could ignore the Host header if I specified HTTP/1.0:

I could not get it to work with an absoluteURI, even using the example in the RFC.

Recipients of an HTTP/1.0 request that lacks a Host header field MAY attempt to use heuristics (e.g., examination of the URI path for something unique to a particular host) in order to determine what exact resource is being requested. If the host as determined by rule 1 or 2 is not a valid host on the server, the response MUST be a 400 (Bad Request) error message. If the Request-URI is not an absoluteURI, and the request includes a Host header field, the host is determined by the Host header field value.ģ. Any Host header field value in the request MUST be ignored.Ģ. If Request-URI is an absoluteURI, the host is part of the Request-URI. I looked up the HTTP specification, and as described in section 5.2 of the RFC:ġ. I swear I’ve done this before without a Host header though. I eliminated the User-Agent the Accept headers and it still worked, so the missing Host header was the cause of my problems. I put the same headers (with a modified User-Agent) into my printf statement: I decided to take a look at what curl was sending, since that was working: Which also returned a HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request error. Which returned a HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request error.

On a server running Apache 2.4.6, first I tried: curl is an excellent tool for ad hoc HTTP requests. I must have had some reason for wanting to do this, although I can’t think of why right now.
