asterisk users - Aug 2003 - problem with manager: Response error, Missing action in request

I am having problems using the manager even though I  am following the
instructions from the Manager.rtf doc.

 In manager.conf I have the following
[general]
enabled=yes
port=5038

[fred]
username=fred
secret=fred
read=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent
write=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent

I do the following:

System prompt #    telnet localhost 5038

 

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.

Escape character is '^]'.

Asterisk Call Manager/1.0

 

Action: Login <CR>

Username:fred<CR>

Secret: fred<CR>

<CR>


and the result I get is

Response:Error
Message:Missing action in request

Any ideas what am i doing wrong?
