DESCRIPTION
       Given an URL, httping will show how long it takes to connect, send a request and retrieve the reply (only the headers).

              Specify the URL to ping (e.g. -g http://localhost/)

              Specify port number to connect

       -x proxy:port
              Indicate the proxy and port which httping will use, in case of needed.

       -c ping_nr
              How many times it will connect

       -i interval
              Number of seconds to delay between connection

       -t timeout
              Number of seconds to timeout (the default is 30)

       -s     Show status codes.

       -m     Give machine parseable output.
