 10 GETs transmitted
 round-trip min/avg/max = 48 msecs/61 msecs/106 msecs

It can also return JSON for use in network monitoring systems:

jpignata@populuxe:~$ httping -j <http://www.google.com>
{"results": {"max": 0.120609, "avg": 0.0946966, "min": 0.061993}, "sent": 5, "uri": "http://www.google.com/"}
