I'll see if I can email it to you.

You just need to have the telnet client, not the server. You're going
to telnet to port 80 and the server isn't going to be the telnet server,
but Apache.

Well, you're going to spit at it what a browser would spit at it.

As a minimum, you'll want to say something like:

>telnet www.something.com 80
Trying 66.35.250.151...
Connected to www.something.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
(then you type)
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.something.com

(and it should send the page)
