May be you try using telnet command to issue an HTTP request,

```nohighlight
 (sleep 4; echo "GET /yourRequestPage HTTP/1.1"; echo ""; sleep 5) | telnet google.com 80

```

Thanks

We are trying integrate a mobile message service facility into an application.

Step 1. we have a set of recipients to whom we send message.  
Step 2. A pro\*c program will fetch all this information from the database  
Step3. Here I need your help... We need to send info to the SMSC.  
We have multiple choice here ...

1.Send this info as a HTTP request to the server.  
2.Generate this data as files and FTP it to the Server.

As we are implementing a POC, we would like to do it with http request...

So any help on this is appreciated... Please help me and correct me if I am wrong in any of teh above given step....

Thanks
