Can you access the Internet under the DOS window?

A lot......

Please give a brief introduction, okay?

What exactly do you mean by accessing the Internet? The protocols usable under DOS generally are only tel, ftp, etc. Chat could also be accessed with DOS before, but definitely not now

For example, I want to open HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM under DOS
How should I type it?
(2005-03-21 22:36:06) POP linux
Then what about HTTP?
(2005-03-22 06:36:01) Crazy Fire Kiss
Can't
(2005-03-22 06:36:04) Crazy Fire Kiss
No such function

Then can I access the Internet using WIN's IE under DOS?
(2005-03-22 06:37:55) Crazy Fire Kiss
Can't
(2005-03-21 22:48:31) POP linux
Why?

(2005-03-22 06:39:05) Crazy Fire Kiss
Because DOS doesn't have that protocol
(2005-03-22 06:39:07) Crazy Fire Kiss
Can only ping
(2005-03-21 22:52:29) POP linux
You mean I find WINDOW's IE under DOS
But DOS doesn't support HTTP protocol, still can't access the Internet, can't find files.
Then why can FTP?
HTTP has image files
FTP also does.
What's the difference?
(2005-03-22 06:43:02) Crazy Fire Kiss
ftp is a transport protocol, mainly for transmission
http is a graphical-based browsing protocol
(2005-03-21 22:56:12) POP linux
That is, DOS doesn't support graphical interface browsing.
Then can the original HTML code be displayed?
Can the file to the specified connection be found?
(2005-03-22 06:47:43) Crazy Fire Kiss I should have to download that file to be able to see it, I don't know this either

???????????????????????????????????????????????

Oh, that person is all wrong. Accessing HTTP under DOS (whether in pure DOS or the DOS window of Windows) is possible, using browsers like Lynx can do it.
