Description

The version of Netcat included with Photon does not contain the -C option to use CRLF for EOL. This is a particularly helpful option while troubleshooting and many forks of Netcat, such as Debian's have added this functionality. Red Hat has opted to replace Netcat with Nmap's Ncat, which also has this option and is in active development. Either of these choices would expand the current troubleshooting options.
