Could be a web page displayed in telnet command line?


I remember one time i've tiped a web address in telnet with port 80 and seen a piece of html.

My question is: What a page must have to be viewed in telnet command line. I know that images couldn't be viewed, but the text could be?

Links to tutorials or guidelines are welcome.

Thanks.


Solution

  • There are some text browsers around, e.g. lynx or w3m

    Just install them on your server (every linux distri has packages for them) and use it in your command line, even over telnet or ssh.
