How to send carriage return over telnet?

Question

I am using Ubuntu telnet client. I am trying to send 2 lines over the telnet connection that I have made.

For example:

> telnet en.wikipedia.org 8         


        

Answer 1

When you are operating in a Telnet client, sending a newline or carriage return control code to the client, will send it directly to the host.

The easiest way to do what you want would be to copy/paste the HTTP GET request from another text editor, so that the newlines are embedded in the text.

Answer 2

You can set the crlf option in telnet. You can do this by, during your telnet session, typing the escape character (^]), and then "toggle crlf". A perhaps cleaner way is to specify this before making the connection:

$ telnet
telnet> toggle crlf
Will send carriage returns as telnet <CR><LF>.
telnet> open mailhost smtp

Answer 3

Try Ctrl+Shift+Enter I tried on Mac OS Mojave Terminal.

Answer 4

The real reason is this.

For windows users, it is well known that cmd is case-insensitive by default.

But in windows, the editing interface of telnet is case sensitive!

Same for unix, Ubuntu, etc.

If you enter: GET /wiki/Main_Page http/1.1, you will get the wrong result.

If you enter: GET /wiki/Main_Page HTTP/1.1, you will get the result you want.

This telnet problem took me hours, damn it.
