Question

I have a ASP .Net web-application running on IIS 7/Win2K8 Standard.

What I would like help with :

As a user makes a request on the client side (browser), I want to examine the request object on the server as soon as it arrives (for logging purposes).

In particular I want to log, at the very least :

1. Time of the request.
2. IP address of the request.
3. Size in bytes of the request.

Similarly I want to log the size of the response being rendered for the same request.

The request may be an entire page request or a partial update (updatepanel) request.

Much obliged for any help provided.

Thanks in anticipation.

Handle the Application_BeginRequest event in your Global.asax file. Something like this:

public void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
     yourLogger.Log(String.Format("Request Time: {0}, Request IP: {1}, Request Size: {2}",
                                  Date.Now.Time,
                                  Request.UserHostAddress,
                                  Request.TotalBytes)
}
