can't telnet to webserver

[jammer]

I was under the impression you could telnet to port 80 of any
webserver and do a GET /

This website works for me but telnet doesn't.

telnet www.new.hvacpartners.com 80
GET /

I'm trying to figre out why the website doesn't work for someone else.

yes but when more then one website (hostname) lives on the same
machine (ip number) you have tell http version and say which of
them you want to get a page from

telnet www.new.hvacpartners.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.new.hvacpartners.com

(pressing Enter two times after the host-line so
that it is an empty CR/LF line telling that you
are finnished sending parameters)
