13,329 PointsYou are being closed out by the httpbin.org server (~60 seconds) because you are not communicating with the server or at least if you are trying to communicate with it, it's not receiving your commands.
I found that you have to type quickly and it helps to watch the video once. Write down what Chris says and then follow it again and type the commands he says.
From the beginning of the video type the following in your command line:
telnet httpbin.org 80
[press ENTER KEY]
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: httpbin.org
[press ENTER KEY] [press ENTER KEY]
