Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM HTTP Server                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IBM HTTP Server can log the duration    *
    *                      of a request, but cannot record the     *
    *                      time-to-first-byte (TTFB) of the        *
    *                      response.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Apply this fix if you need to log TTFB on   *
    *                  the                                         *
    *                  server side.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    IBM HTTP Server can log the duration of a request, but cannot
    record the time-to-first-byte (TTFB) of the response.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The "LogIOTrackTTFB" directive was added to mod_logio which
    allows the tracing of the time to first byte. Once enabled,
    the "LogFormat" directive will accept format "%^FB" which
    gives the time to first byte in microseconds.
    
    
    This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs:
    - 7.0.0.39
    - 8.0.0.11
    - 8.5.5.7
