mhh. I think there are 2 versions of netcat in existence and they behave slightly differently when it comes to end of lines.
Perhaps something like this would work better for you: echo -e "serverstatus\nexit\n" | netcat localhost 9090 . I am not sure. But anyway, it looks like the server is fine, that's a good start. (BTW, all the %3A, %20 and so on you get on return are normal, the server url-encodes characters. %3A is ":", %20 is " " and so on (The ASCII code for ":" is 3A in hexadecimal notation. Grab an ASCII table and you can work your way around. Or use an escaping/unescaping lib. Or use json.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71077 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
