Technically, to be HTTP/1.1 compliant, that should be:
# telnet freebsd.domain.net 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: freebsd.domain.net
Connection: close
[ .. twice enter here .. ]

otherwise Apache should (I haven't tested, this is per the HTTP/1.1 RFC
2616) assume a persistent connection and leave you hanging after your
request until whatever time you have for your KeepAliveTimeout has passed.
Also, it would be simpler to do "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" etc., so you don't get
the content of your server root or its DirectoryIndex file. Just the
good stuff that tells you what you want to know about the server, if
it's responding on that port at all.
