That's what I first thought too, but I quickly realized that there is no way to know because the client remains idle and suddenly sends a request. So it is not different from the first request case, except that during the first request, there is an active connection from the client, so the client knows it has to talk and does it ASAP, meaning there is almost never any delay. > But that's not really a big deal. it just makes it harder to distinguish requests typed by hand from the ones sent after an idle period. > For clarity in the docs (since they are already so comprehensive), > I might suggest mentioning in section on HTTP log format that > Tq and Tt are cumulative for the connection (while Tw, Tc, and Tr > are of course per request). No, Tq is included in Tt. If you have a case where this is not true, then it's a bug. Regards, Willy
