Also, I believe that some web servers only repsond to HTTP requests if 
they recognize that the request is coming from a legit browser.  I've 
seen a web server send a reset after being unable to recognze the 
request.  Try emulating a Firefox or IE request over a regular TCPSocket 
and see if you get a response.  Even easier at first, telnet to the 
server and do a regular GET to see if that gives you a response.

Maybe I'm wrong.  Hope this helps.
