Using socket to visit a localhost website. Error

I am using socket to visit a localhost website. Get the following error:

HTTP/1.1 408 Request Timeout
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/plain

The socket code as below:

import socket
mysock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
mysock.connect(('0.0.0.0',8080))

mysock.send('GET http://localhost:8080/hello HTTP/1.0\r\n')

while True:
    data = mysock.recv(512)
    if (len(data)<1):
        break
    print data
mysock.close()

HTTP request header should end with two newlines. If you send only one blank line, the server will wait until timeout.

mysock.send('GET http://localhost:8000/hello HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n')
