Genini requests with ncat

[James Henderson]

Aha I see what the problem was!

As it happened I had the port in the command but just neglected it in the message, my bad.

The fail was caused by putting the / on the end of the url being passed to ncat. With the / on the end of that the lookup fails it appears. Seeing your working command made it obvious.

Thanks.
