According to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1792546 the manual TALKING TO SERVERS example: $ echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc host.example.com 80 does not work unless -q-1 is specified in nc, but it works for nc in netcat-traditional. It appears that nc in netcat-openbsd ends immediately after it sends the echoed string to the server.
Also, echo -e is required, so the manual should also be corrected. This is also the case for netcat-traditional. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545075 Title: Netcat-openbsd package from ubuntu-minimal doesn't work with echo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/545075/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
