Save output to a file:

httpry -o {{path/to/file.log}}

Listen on a specific interface and save output to a binary PCAP format file:

httpry {{eth0}} -b {{path/to/file.pcap}}

Filter output by a comma-separated list of HTTP verbs:

httpry -m {{get|post|put|head|options|delete|trace|connect|patch}}

Read from an input capture file and filter by IP:

httpry -r {{path/to/file.log}} '{{host 192.168.5.25}}'

Run as daemon process:

httpry -d -o {{path/to/file.log}}
