The man page may be incorrect. You need -e in order to get echo to
print out the line feeds properly:
$ echo -ne "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n"
GET / HTTP/1.0
$ echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n"
GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n$
(I left the $ prompt in the output, to show that there's really no line
feed.)
Did you also try the client/server example in the man page (which looks
correct to me)?
