We want our logs to show the "duration" of a request -- i.e.
how long it took to fulfill the request from start to finish.
We wrote a module to take care of this, but we needed to add
the timestamp of when the request began to be received into
the main-line source.  As I think that this information is
potentially useful to other's modules I am offering the
patches made to the apache_1.1b2 sources to track this datum.

(The module itself is not (yet?) available for public release,
though the logic is trivial: subtract the request_at time from
the time when the log function gets called and print the difference
in the apropriate "column" of the output.)

BTW: is "apache-bugs" really the right place for me to be
sending these "suggested enhancements" patches?

For the record, being able to track in a log how long it took to serve a 
file would be a very good thing - we have people asking us how long it 
takes the average suchnsuch page to be rendered or the large application 
to be downloaded or whatever, so this would be valuable.  Makes sense 
that this should simply be another function in mod_log_config.c.  The 
poster from sprynet.com implied that something had to be added to the 
core to determine the initial connection time - yet the status module 
is able to show how long an active connection has been alive, so I'm 
wondering if the core actually needs to be altered to support this.  Any 
guesses?
