thanks and this is a popular answer on stack exchange but no, it does not
work, because aborted requests have read less bytes -- $request_length
reports how many bytes SHOULD have been read, but in the case of any
problem, abort by client, or whatever, this is not how many bytes were
actually read..

For accounting purposes, I'd want an exact mirror to $bytes_sent ...
otherwise math does not add up :( I think there should be a $bytes_recd ..
