       -p port_nr
	      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)
