Long question:
I'm trying to test my simple HTTP Server by Telnet-ing alot of requests and seeing how the server reacts. But when i make a typo and press Backspace to erase the previous character, MobaXterm sends ^H instead of removing the character from the string. When i press Shift+Backspace everything works the way i want it to, but after a while this gets very annoying… So, is there a solution that just changes the functionality of backspace?
Short question:
Is it possible to make backspace delete a character instead of sending ^H?

MobaXterm also proposes a checkbox setting "Backspace sends ^H" that you can try to toggle (in MobaXterm global settings --> "Terminal" tab).
If you are using a saved session, you will have to edit this session, go to the "Terminal settings" tab and toggle the "Backspace sends ^H" checkbox.
