Using telnet in my shell script
Hello Guys,

I have a linux server where I already logged in, once logged in, i telnet to local host using some dedicated port and do some action. This I can easily do manually.

Since I need to fire a lot requests so I would like to optimize it using a shell script to avoid telnetting each time and do the arduous manual actions, can some body assist me, how to fire a request after triggering telnet in the script. Please note after i telnet to local host i don't need to give any user password.

Below is what I am doing manually which i want to optimize.

Code:
telnet localhost <port>

<I will paste my xml Request here>
<Response will come>

I.e:
Code:
telnet localhost 1111
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

POST /Air HTTP/1.1
Connection: close
User-Agent: UGw Server/4.3/1.0
Authorization: Basic ZmRzdXNlcjpmZHN1c2Vy
Host: 1.1.1.1:1111
Content-Length: 775
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

Would be greatful if somebody help me to kick start my script.

THanks!!

telnetrc

telnetrc(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						       telnetrc(4)

NAME

       telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session

SYNOPSIS

       $HOME/.telnetrc

DESCRIPTION

       The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session.	It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
       the user logging in.

       The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect.  A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
       The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands.	These sub-
       commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines.	See telnet(1)  for
       a complete list of telnet subcommands.

       To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
       commands in the subsequent lines.

EXAMPLES

       The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:

       # Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
	  environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
	  set echo
	  toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
	  set echo
	  mode line
	  toggle crlf

FILES

       User-customized telnet startup values.
