Trying again with correct syntax:

Trying 172.16.5.4...
Connected to myserver.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET duh.html HTTP/1.0 (yes, duh.html does exist)

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Date: Sun, 04 Jan 2004 00:25:15 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.47 (Fedora)
Content-Length: 310
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

Connection closed by foreign host.

The above does generate an entry in the myserver.com-error.log file like
this:

[Sat Jan 03 16:25:15 2004] [error] [client 172.16.5.2] Invalid URI in
request GET duh.html HTTP/1.0

I guess the error returned is becaue I added 2 carriage returns.  If I
don't put two in, the server just doesn't respond with anything.

These log files aren't reporting anything at all.

These both return "Syntax OK"
