7,263 PointsTelnet worked for me. What I did, Windows 8
Telnet worked for me but not exactly how it worked for others.
- Enabled telnet. Entered this in command prompt: "dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient"
- Open Command Prompt as administrator. Windows Key > type "command prompt" > right click the Command Prompt icon > Run as administrator > enter administrator password
- Enter "telnet httpbin.org 80"
- My result was Command Prompt goes blank except for blinking underscore. Blindly, because the prompt does not display what I'm typing, and within 60 seconds, entered perfectly "GET / HTTP/1.1"[Enter key]"Host: httpbin.org"[Enter key][Enter key] RESULT: raw html with status 200 OK
Since I can't see what I'm typing, this is not a great solution. I'll be using the Workspace or Chrome addon Postman for the rest of this course
