It's very common.  A colleague (with a fair amount of Clue) asked the
other day "since when has telnet been HTTP?".  I gave him instructions 
for trying it out.

In fact, to get on-topic - here's the tip.

"telnet abc.def.ghi.jkl 80" at a shell on another machine.
Then type "GET / HTTP/1.0" and return a couple of times.
You should get the raw HTML stream back.  This is a 
very useful diagnostic, as there is no application in the way 
trying to interpret for you.
