Getting a 404 Bad Request Error Using Socket in Python 3

I'm just starting out with Python web data in Python 3.6.1. I was learning sockets and I had a problem with my code which I couldn't figure out. The website in my code works fine, but when I run this code I get a 404 Bad Request error. I am not really sure what the problem with my code is. Thanks in advance.

import socket

mysock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

mysock.connect(('data.pr4e.org', 80))

mysock.send(('GET http://ift.tt/2thmVy4 HTTP/1.0 \n\n').encode())

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

mysock.close()
