I haven't tried yet to collect this info.

For nomal requests http/ftp the information is readily available from the
request (headers + content-length) unless the request was aborted, but
for CONNECT or aborted requests there is no counter easily available
today.

If you disable persistent connections then the counters from the client
connection may be used, but only then.
