Sure, the first web browsers like NCSA Mosaic were already running on Unix some 15 years ago.

Also from Windows I need to give https://servername/myapp which definitley is not working. So I wanted to check in Unix to see if https://localhost/myapp will work on the server where application is deployed. This would help me to understand if this is a server problem or is it a network issue.
On the Solaris machine, try "telnet localhost 443" or better "telnet servername 443". If you got "Connection refused", the server might have some trouble.

Alternative commands that might help:
Code:
ifconfig -a
ping servername
netstat -an | grep 443

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dwww

DWWW(1) 							      Debian								   DWWW(1)

NAME

       dwww - access documentation via WWW

SYNOPSIS

       http://localhost/dwww/index.html
       dwww
       dwww program-name | package-name

DESCRIPTION

       A  typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages, info files, READMEs, and so on).  dwww makes it possible to access
       all of these via the same interface, a WWW browser.  This makes it easier to use the documentation.

       To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.  If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command  which  loads
       the  URL.   If  BROWSER	environment  variable  is  set, dwww uses sensible-browser(1) to load the URL.	Otherwise, dwww first tries to use
       browser specified by DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf.  dwww(7)), than will use sensible-browser(1) command.

       If optional argument program-name or package-name is specified, dwww will search all documentation related to given program or package.

ENVIRONMENT

       BROWSER
	      Program used to load the above mentioned URL.

FILES

       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
	      Configuration file for dwww.

SEE ALSO

       dwww-find(8), dwww(7), sensible-browser(1).
