Description
The httping port version appears out of date (currently 2.5, while the latest appears to be 2.9) and strangely references an Wayback Machine archive page (https://web.archive.org/web/20201108093618/https://www.vanheusden.com/httping/, which oddly seems more up-to-date than the current version of that page). This appears to be the current site for the HTTPing utility: https://github.com/folkertvanheusden/HTTPing (GitHub users appears to be the same guy).
Homebrew references the above site with version 2.9: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/httping
Here's a snapshot of the MacPorts page at the time I'm writing this bug: https://web.archive.org/web/20230531181757/https://ports.macports.org/port/httping/

The developer commented quickly but didn't answer most of my questions. I'll give them some time; maybe they'll have more to say later.
Here's a PR to update the port: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/18909

The fact that the port references the wayback machine copy of the homepage isn't meant to be strange; we can see from the commit message when that change was made in 2021 that the homepage and the flok99 GitHub account mentioned on it were nonexistent at that time. I agree that a new GitHub account and repository now exist, from which a 2.9 release was made in 2022, and thanks for letting us know about that, however I have numerous concerns about it, which I've reported in an issue in the new repository but I'll reproduce my concerns here:
