>Description:
The %t directive for the custom log format reports when the request
is finished rather than when it started. Whether or not this is
as bug is certainly debatable, but for a project I'm working on, recording
the start of the transaction is important. (Specifically, I have
apache set up as a proxy to monitor traffic at the client end of a
surfish session, as part of some web site usability testing.)
I've included a patch to mod_log_custom.c that provides the behavior
I need.
