Hi.

In the apache2.conf you make some predefined log-formats, including one for
the Common Log Format and one for the Combined Log Format.

Those are defined there using %O for the number of bytes.
Most other resources I could find (e.g. Apache documentation and W3C) use %b 
however
or defined this to be the size of the document being transmitted (therefore
without the Header stuff).


Althoug I personally also prefer the total raw size (and therfore %O) I'd 
suggest
to use %b here, to be _absolutely_ compatible to everything else.


Cheers,
Chris.

We had that in the past. The problem with %b is that it gives no 
indication if the request was a partial request but always logs the 
size of the complete document. I think that the inaccuracies because 
of the headers are smaller than inaccuracies because of           
partial requests, and that %O is more useful in general. Therefore, I 
close this bug as wontfix.
