Ofcourse, as it isn't the right syntax (the one who said otherwise
obviously didn't read the RFC, he's referring to).

The right way is to open a connection to port 80 and send:

        GET / HTTP/1.1
        Host: www.punter.co.uk
        
(and two newlines)

This should bring up the index file for that virtual host.
