Testing new httping version for comcast users

[folkert <folkert@vanheusden.com>]

Hi,

I've uploaded an new alpha version of httping to the website.
This version can do "persisting connections" so that you don't measure
the tcp connection-setup part. I believe this is also called http/1.1.
A user of this alpha version noticed that he got ping times of around
2ms which is rather unbelievable. His isp is comcast.
Now my request is to other httping users who are on comcast to give this
version of httping a try as well and report to me the ping times of the
following command:
	httping -Q -c 10 www.google.com

Tests by users with other isps are welcom too, espcially when
unbelievable low ping times are seen.

I myself can't reproduce it (in the Netherlands connected to XS4ALL with
a 7/1 ADSL line):
mauer:/home/folkert/copy/httping-1.5.0# ./httping -Q -c 10 www.google.com
PING www.google.com:80 (www.google.com):
connected to 66.102.13.147:80, seq=0 time=90.87 ms
connected to 66.102.13.147:80, seq=1 time=35.22 ms

--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
10 connects, 10 ok, 0.00% failed
round-trip min/avg/max = 29.5/40.2/90.9 ms
