Description

I am using the following configuration:
accesslog.format = "%h l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b %Ts \"{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
the differenc to the default formatting is the %Ts which is according to doc: time used in seconds

expected:
it should show the real time the request took.

what it does:
I do requests at /foo/bar.php with an average response time of 200ms.
At some of the requests it show the time since the last request. Not the processing time.
It appears, that it only occurs at requests from a high level browser. Not with java library or wget.

The interesting thing is the wrong line in the log file is immediately (0-2s) after the request written even if it says 15s in the log.

log:

Has duplicate Bug #2608: Request response time in lighttpd access logDuplicate2015-01-13Actions

i forgot to mention, that it seems to be the time, since the last request with the same browser.

  • Target version set to 1.4.x

I don't see an easy fix to this as 1.4.x doesn't have an extra state for keep-alive, and this means that after the previous request ended it "starts" the next one immediately (which is what the start timestamps is referring to).

How about we update con->request_start when the first byte of the next request is received for subsequent requests on keep-alive connections?
