netcat problem

I want to send a basic HTTP request to a web server as part of my network
checking script.

I try:

echo "GET / HTTP/1.1" ; echo | nc host port

AFAIK this should spit whatever it receives to stdout... but I get
nothing. Any ideas?

( echo "GET / HTTP/1.1" ; echo ) | nc host port

Or even:

echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\n" | nc host port
