If you know how to use commands of the HTTP protocol, you can connect to a Web server with examples.telnet.TelnetClientExample.java program as shown below:

C:\fyicenter> java 
   -cp .;C:\local\commons-net-3.5\commons-net-3.5.jar
        ;C:\local\commons-net-3.5\commons-net-examples-3.5.jar 
   examples.telnet.TelnetClientExample www.yahoo.com 80

Type AYT to send an AYT telnet command
Type OPT to print a report of status of options (0-24)

    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <div id="englishContent">
            <h1 style="margin-top:20px;">Will be right back...</h1>
            <p id="message-1">Thank you for your patience.</p>
            <p id="message-2">Our engineers are working quickly to resolve 
               the issue.</p>
          </div>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
  </noscript>
  </body>
</html>

It's not really working, because Yahoo! Web is expecting additional request-header lines in a single request.
