perl homemade telnet version

• in some basic system like cloud minimal virtual machines, there are no network utilities like telnet, so there is a simple perl implementation (using vanilla Socket package):

#!/usr/bin/env perl

# from https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/webclient/ch04.html

use Socket;

$|=1; # autoflush

sub open_TCP
{
  # get parameters
  my ($FS, $dest, $port) = @_;

  my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
  socket($FS, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto);
  my $sin = sockaddr_in($port,inet_aton($dest));
  connect($FS,$sin) || return undef;

  my $old_fh = select($FS);
  $| = 1; 		        # don't buffer output
  select($old_fh);
  1;
}


# If no parameters were given, print out help text
$num_args = $#ARGV + 1;
if ($num_args != 3) {
    print "Usage: telnet.pl <host> <port> <text>\n";
    print "Example: telnet.pl www.campisano.org 80 \$'GET /wiki/en/Main HTTP/1.0\\r\\nHost: www.campisano.org\\r\\n\\r\\n'\n";
    exit(-1);
}

$host=$ARGV[0];
$port=$ARGV[1];
$text=$ARGV[2];

# contact the server
print "connecting $host:port ...\n";

if (open_TCP(F, $host, $port) == undef) {
  print "Error connecting to server at $ARGV[0]\n";
  exit(-2);
}

# send the GET method with / as a parameter
print "sending $text ...\n";
print F "$text";

# print out the response
print "printing response ... \n";
print $_ while (<F>);

close(F);
