:prefix=XXXX: The XXXXX is the prefix used for the transaction log files. It defaults to YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR MINUTE SECOND of the time the command was stated.
:start=index: The index plus 1 is the first filename created.

BUGS

This utility isn't robust enough to run continuously as a proxy server. It is intended to be run from the command line, to be monitored during use, and to be restarted manually if needed. You might see errors messages such as empty request from client, accept (errobj Protocol error) and recv (errobj Connection reset by peer), from time to time, depending on the client browser and tcp stack.
