RE: [squid-users] reading logs

Hi Christoph,

That's a very good point, some people are faster than the others by
nature, and some use more paper than the others :) But it still leaves
me with the fact of how do I determine from the logs how long per day a
person spent browsing the net?!

I am using external authenticator to pull user names and passwd from AD
which get inevitably logged in access.log. My analyser goes through and
builds a database indexed by user and date, containing what each user
visited during that day. But how much time they spent doing it. Have
they spent 2 or 3 hours browsing some norties or 10 mins something
business related?

If you know how to add up the total browsing time from the access.log
let me know please

Thanks

Tomas

HTTP is stateless. Squid can record how long it took to deliver the
page. 
But then the page stays on the user's screen. How should Squid be able
to 
know what the user does then like how slow or fast he can read or how
much 
time he spent on the toilet? He may even have logged off, gone outside
and 
be run over by a truck. You won't know.
