Assuming that you're using wget version 1.10.2 (or similar), it appears (src/ptimer.c) that the program already uses a time resolution of a millisecond (or better), given underlying run-time library support at that resolution. The formatted output (retr_rate(): src/retr.c) is limited to a form which is more convenient for most users.
If you want the results to have any meaning, you should examine the wget code to see exactly what is being timed (at which events the timer starts and stops), to see if wget is measuring what you want measured. A term like "response time" is pretty vague all by itself. It should be easy enough to modify the formatted output code to provide more digits than the existing code does. (Whether these would be _significant_ figures would depend on the underlying OS timer resolution.) I don't see how you could get this sort of output without changing the code, so you'd need to decide whether you wanted to add a command-line option (or to use some other method) to enable the new elapsed time format, or if you just wanted to maintain a separate code stream for a modified wget program which always uses the new format. Getting changes like this into the main product code stream is someone else's decision. If I were you, I'd expect to have to make the changes and maintain the different code myself into the indefinite future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
