I have the following command:

echo 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n' | nc -l -p 8000 -c

and when I curl localhost:8000 I am not seeing HTTP/1.1 200 .. being printed.

I am on mac os x with netcat 0.7.1

Any ideas?

#!/bin/bash

trap 'my_exit; exit' SIGINT SIGQUIT

my_exit()
{
        echo "you hit Ctrl-C/Ctrl-\, now exiting.."
        # cleanup commands here if any
}

if test $# -eq 0 ; then
        echo "Usage: $0 PORT"
        echo ""
        exit 1
fi

while true
do
        echo "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" | nc -l -p ${1} -c
done

and testing with:

curl localhost:8000
