bytes_sent -> bytes_received?

[Drew Degentesh <dd...@daed.com>]

In addition to the number of bytes sent to the client, Id like to log how
many bytes are sent *by* the client (the size of the request + posts , etc.)

I was guessing/hoping that length( scalar( $r->content ) ) would do it, but
earlier in my application (before the log phase) I use Apache::Request to
(potentially) process a file upload, and Im guessing that clears out
$r->content.

Any ideas?

Well, if you need the length of the POST data, then you should be 
able (assuming the browser follows the RFCs) to get it from 
$r->header_in( 'Content-length' ).

If you need the length of the ENTIRE request, theoretically you could 
get it by adding together :
1) the above value
<CODE>my $headerlength = $r->header_in( 'Content-length' )</CODE>

2) the lengths of all the header lines
<CODE>
my $headers = $r->headers_in();
map { $headerlength += length($_) + length($headers->{$_}) + 2 }
	##  +2 above for ': ' between the header key and value
	keys %$headers;
</CODE>

3) and the request line
<CODE>$headerlength += length( $r->the_request() )</CODE>

Did I miss anything?  Methinks this is the lot, but I'm just typing 
here -- I didn't test it. ;-)

Fair enough

I'm not sure if it does or not. Anyhow, $r->content won't get you the full
request, plus all the headers. The best way to do this would be to put
your measuring code in as a URI Translation handler (with whatever method
works.... erm...) and then put the value in a notes field which you can
then recover later on in the processing.

Not very helpful, I'm afraid.
