[PATCH] to allow computation of time_connected and bytes_per_second

[Jason Burns/DHD <ja...@danni.com>]

We recently made some small additions to apache_1.3.20 in order to
support new server modules we have developed.  Although these additions
were originally made for our own use, we feel that they provide vital
services that may be useful for others developing similar modules.

     These  additions  are  small  and  are  limited  to  two source files,
scoreboard.h  and  http_main.c.  Provided in the remainder of this document
is a description of the changes we have made in each file.

1.   Changes to scoreboard.h

   We have added two fields to the short_score structure.  These fields are
   connect_time  and  original_client.   A  description  of these fields is
   provided below.

1.1  connect_time ? This field contains the time at which the client
application connected to the httpd process.

     Knowing  the  current time and the time of the connection allows us to
     calculate  how  long a client has been connected to the httpd process.
     This  information  is useful in modules that must know the duration of
     the connection in order to perform rate calculations.

     Example:

          To compute the rate at which data has been served to a client:

          time_connected = time_now ? connect_time
          bytes_per_second = bytes_served / time_connected


1.2  original_client ? For connections made through proxy servers this
field contains the identity of the original client.  This information is
extracted directly from the X-Forwarded-For field in the HTTP header.

     This  field  distinguishes  individual  clients  connecting  through a
     common  proxy  server.   This  field,  along  with the existing client
     field,  allows  us  to  quickly and accurately scan the scoreboard and
     determine how many connections exist for any unique client.

2.   Changes to http_main.c

   In  order  to  support  the  additions  we  have made to the short_score
   structure    we    have    also    made    small    additions   to   the
   ap_update_child_status   function   in   the  http_main.c  file.   These
   additions  update the new fields in the short_score structure when a new
   connection is made or an existing connection is broken.

   As  a  brief  summary,  when  a  new  connection is made the time of the
   connection  and, if applicable, the X-Forwarded-For data are recorded in
   the  connect_time  and original_client fields of the scoreboard.  When a
   connection is dropped these fields are cleared.

   The modified ap_update_child_status function is shown below.
