xmpp - Test http-bind by telnet

Question

I have setup an ejabberd xmpp-server on a Linux docker container.

I want to access it from a windows asp-server, so I'm going to setup reverse-proxying. However, it's not working as expected.

So I want to test if http-bind is working on port 5280 on the xmpp-server.

I can connect to it, but get no response.

I'm used to telnetting to

• port 25 EHLO ME
• port 110 USER me
• port 80 GET / etc

And I get some message back. Is there a string to send to test if 5280 alive? I connect, type something, and it just hangs up.

In the future, I want to have a simple script I can let my nagios test if the server is alive at all.
