I'm sure, as I've been doing it for years.  It's great for debugging in
environment where you may not have any access to a system other than through
an established ssh or telnet session to the server
for security reasons (like at many of our customers).

You can do something similar to debug HTTPS requests using the "openssl
s_client" option.

In either case, you just must ensure you send your HTTP request before the
server side times out and
closes the TCP connection.
