6 Advanced configuration

Please read See Quick start. to know the meaning of '#!' or '#! if' at the start of a line and what are the vars that must be customized.

Synatx: a line will be ignored unless it is in the format like this:

     varname=value

Notice: No chars (such as whitespace,quote) will be exceptional. So any chars before, after or inside "varname=value" will be recognized as part of "varname=value".

The list of advanced vars:

• threads The number of threads opened at the same time. This should be set according to ulimit. The number can't be more than 65535. Though nocache header is used, it is expected that less threads give more precise delay information to evaluate the proxies better.
• myconreplysize The size of buffer used to receive reply after sending CONNECT request for testproxy to myproxy. This is used for some weird proxies. Please leave it intact if unsure.
• testconreplysize The size of buffer used to receive reply after sending CONNECT request for target to testproxy. It is only be used when you validate HTTP CONNECT proxies. Just as above, do not change it if unsure.
• testtagreplysize The size of buffer used to receive reply after sending GET request to the target. Phc will find key from this buffer.
• user_agent Identified as Browsers or others to "cheat" some proxies.
• rcvtimeo Receiving timeouts in second.
• sndtimeo Sending timeouts in second.
• logfilename Redirect stderr to log file. Use a single "." ("." is just before LF) to leave stderr as it is.
