Httpcmd.exe: Command-line HTTP clientNEW

Server-only: This tool is included in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit only.


HTTPCmd is a command-line HTTP client. It lets you send requests to a server from a command prompt, and observe the returns. The server's reply is sent to STDOUT, and is displayed in the command window.

Input Files

HTTPCmd sends its requests to the server by means of an input file, which you create. Some typical input files (.req files) are copied to your local computer during the Windows 2000 Resource Kit installation, and can be modified to suit your needs. These files are located in the directory where you installed the Resource Kit. For example, the content of the Getinfo.req file is the line:

  GET /scripts/getinfo.exe/scripts/test.hfo?zxz=aca&aca=zxz HTTP/1.0

If there is no test.hfo file in the specified directory on the server, or if the specified directory doesn't exist, this returns error message 404.
