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.

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. ;-)
Enjoy,
