Telnet says that my browser does not send a complete request in time. Any ideas?

Courses Plus Student 9,858 Pointsmy attempts at telnet locally on my Windows 10 machine all failed. just goes blank then 30 seconds or so later quits and goes back to prompt.
my attempts using workspaces were all successfull as portrayed in the video.
somehow treehouse workspaces must be "approved" or whitelisted for telnet requests on port 80 by this resource. the casual audience is locked out. this is my guess.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 21,034 PointsHere's a way to make telnet work on Windows 10:
- Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and then Ubuntu from the Windows store.
- You can then just use telnet from the bash shell. If you set bash as the default terminal in Visual Studio Code (search settings for terminal windows and switch it from powershell to
C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe
), you can even use telnet in Visual Studio Code terminal window.
