1,182 PointsCommand Prompt says "GET is not recognized"
I enabled Telnet client on Windows 10 and started giving the Telnet HTTP commands in Command Prompt as in the video. But when I type in the command GET / HTTP/1.1 , it gives the error message " 'GET' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". I do not know how to continue after this. I tried with Windows Powershell too but it gives the same error. Please help.

Treehouse TeacherYour commands are going to the shell, not to telnet. You should rewatch the video for directions on how to start the telnet client first.
