Hi William, You have it wrong... ;-) THe only thing telnet is good for is simulating the TCP connection on a specific port (can't even "do" UDP). You'll have to understand how the browser and web server communicate and simulate that yourself. BTW, telnet deosn't "do"corrections; as you type, it's sent. If you want a similar toy that's a bit more flexible, get http://isatools.org/winsocktool.msi. It's a toy I wrote that can act as client or server for any TCP or UDP protocol and allows you to send any text data between them. Since you're trying to "simulate a web session" this may work better for you because: - it allows editing before sending - it saves a log of your session.

Surely if I telnet on port 80 (telnet www.someserver.com 80) it is exactly the same as opening my web browser and connecting to that site? Or do I have it wrong? -----Original Message----- From: josephk [mailto:josephk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 30 June 2004 11:50 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Telnet to website through ISA??? http://www.ISAserver.org Hi William, I would turn on the feature to look at all packet filters. This will Include blocked and allow. Make sure after your tests that you turn off this Feature. Do you have port 23 blocked as well?

In order to verify my connection I have a PIX firewall on the external interface of my ISA on which I have a debug running to show if the traffic is in fact getting through. When I do a simple tracert to the partner website I see the traffic 100%, but when I try and telnet to port 80 I don't see anything. Now my naïve logic is telling me that because ISA is a proxy server, it is proxying this telnet http request of mine, but I cannot think as to how I can "adjust" ISA to actually let the traffic through... I know I waffling, if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
