Apache request through shell

Hello!
I'm tryng to connect to an Apache server by the shell. Which commands
should I write? Can I use telnet (and how?)?
How can I request the Apache service?
Thank you!

try the following:

telnet <host> 80

This should connect you to the host. But you should know HTTP to use
this because the server is then waiting for a request.

You can use telnet, as Uwe noted. Depending on what you want to do, you
might also be able to use wget or lwp-request (sometimes aliased as
GET). But if these don't work for you, you probably should post more
details about what specifically you want to do.
