Cannot see what I am typing in telnet

Question

I enabled telnet in widows 7 and when I type in CMD: telnet www.example.com 80 the screen clears and then I cannot see what I am typing. Although I can trace the cursor which moves with every character typed. I saw this link which was the most relevant. However, when I type GET / HTTP/1.0 nothing happens and when I press ctrl+] it does not accept GET / HTTP/1.0. What should I do to see the page?

Answer 1

Try this:

telnet
set localecho
open <host ip> <port>

Answer 2

It generally works but type your text without editing, no errors, and press enter to send it.

There is a scriptable telnet client you can download for free:

Answer 3

For the problem that you cannot see what you are typing, I guess it's just the way Windows telnet client is designed. I tried using telnet in Linux, no this problem. If you are using Windows 10, you can try installing the Linux sub system, and then use telnet in the Linux subsystem.
