timing downloads with mod_perl

[Nick <fi...@yahoo.com>]

I would like to log the time it take users to download
items from my site.  Has anyone has any success
writing a mod perl prog to accomplish this?

Thanks!

create two handlers:

  - One in PerlInithandler
  - The second in PerlLogHandler 

(or similar)


Use Time::HiRes to get the time in high resolution

In InitHandler: get the time the request starts.

In LogHandler: look how many time the request took.


But normaly your server's OS caches the output, so this might be only a
hint for big files or the time taken by the request.



For complete HTML pages you can write some JavaScript ...
