Specifies the number of simultaneous sockets to use (default: 100).
Increases logging level for terminal output.
Randomizes user agents with each request.
Utilizes a SOCKS5 proxy for connections.
Uses the HTTPS protocol for requests.
Sets a sleep time interval between each header sent.

Example 1:
$ slowloris -p 80 -s 200 example.com
Example 2:
$ slowloris -x --proxy-host=proxy.example.com --proxy-port=1080 example.com
