What can I use to push info? Pipe it to telnet. Example for bash (all one line): (echo -ne "GET /Tools/test.pl?testing=hohoho HTTP/1.0\n\n" && sleep 1) | telnet localhost 80 I put `sleep 1` because the server needs the connection to stay up a bit (maybe for returning HTML, but you won't see that); otherwise, apache seemed to ignore it (nothing showed up in access_log). - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
