- log in to a *nix box (i've used solaris and aix). any OS works fine, but you may not get a local echo so you won't know if you made a typo. HTTP is very unforgiving about typos.
- run the command:
telnet krist0ph3r.blogspot.com 80
- in the telnet window, type the following text:
be very careful, backspace and arrow keys etc. don't work. you have to get it right the first time. it *is* case sensitive too.GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: krist0ph3r.blogspot.com
User-agent: krisroxxx - press return twice.
- marvel at the profoundness of what you've just done.
- to close the connection, type:
and press return once.CLOSE

the new Blogger doesn't seem to let the telnet hack work anymore.
actually, it still does work. it simply has a very short timeout (probably 5 seconds or so).
what you have to do is type the command in a text editor, copy it, and paste it IMMEDIATELY after the telnet connection is established.
