Yes, but only error or redirect responses: $ nc www.google.fr 80 GET / HTTP/1.0 302 Found Location: http://www.google.fr/ [etc.] $ nc www.mozilla.org 80 GET / <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>403 Forbidden</title> </head><body> <h1>Forbidden</h1> <p>You don't have permission to access /error/noindex.html on this server.</p> </body></html> That's quite understandable, since most HTTP servers will expect a "host" header to know which site is actually desired. So a HTTP 0.9 client sending Simple-Requests has very little chance of being useful these days.
