-g url         url (e.g. -g http://localhost/)
-h hostname    hostname (e.g. localhost)
-p portnr      portnumber (e.g. 80)
-x host:port   hostname+portnumber of proxyserver
-c count       how many times to connect
-i interval    delay between each connect, can be only smaller than 1 if user is root
-t timeout     timeout (default: 30s)
-Z             ask any proxies on the way not to cache the requests
-Q             use a persistent connection. adds a 'C' to the output if httping had to reconnect
-6             use IPv6
-s             show statuscodes
-S             split time in connect-time and processing time
-G             do a GET request instead of HEAD (read the
               contents of the page as well)
-b             show transfer speed in KB/s (use with -G)
-B             like -b but use compression if available
-L x           limit the amount of data transferred (for -b)
               to 'x' (in bytes)
-X             show the number of KB transferred (for -b)
-l             connect using SSL
-z             show fingerprint (SSL)
-f             flood connect (no delays)
-a             audible ping
-m             give machine parseable output (see
               also -o and -e)
-o rc,rc,...   what http results codes indicate 'ok'
               coma seperated WITHOUT spaces inbetween
               default is 200, use with -e
-e str         string to display when http result code

-I str         use 'str' for the UserAgent header
-R str         use 'str' for the Referer header
-r             resolve hostname only once (usefull when
               pinging roundrobin DNS: also takes the first
               DNS lookup out of the loop so that the first
               measurement is also correct)
-n warn,crit   Nagios-mode: return 1 when avg. response time
               >= warn, 2 if >= crit, otherwhise return 0
-N x           Nagios mode 2: return 0 when all fine, 'x'
               when anything failes
-y ip[:port]   bind to ip-address (and thus interface) [/port]
-q             quiet, only returncode
-A             Activate Basic authentication
-U Username    needed for authentication
-P Password    needed for authentication
-C cookie=value Add a cookie to the request
-V             show the version
