node.js timing http requests

Question

I am trying to time how long it takes to respond to requests.

Right now I create a timestamp on the httpServer request event the problem is that httpServerResponse does not emit end and the end function to finish the response is called in different locations and I dont want to add this code at all these locations.

Is there a better way to do this?

var server = http.createServer(); server.on('request', dispatch); function dispatch(req, res){ var start = Date.now(); // No such event so never fired res.on('end', function(){ console.log('requests.time', Date.now() - start); }); generateResponse(req, res); }

You could overwrite the original res.end() function and call the original from within it:

var server = http.createServer(); server.on('request', dispatch); function dispatch(req, res){ var start = Date.now(); var original=res.end; res.end=function(txt,encoding){ console.log('requests.time', Date.now() - start); original.call(this,txt,encoding); } generateResponse(req, res); } function generateResponse(req,res){ setTimeout(function(){ // simulate some processing res.end('hi'); },1000); }

yes I was thinking about doing that, I thought that there might be another way. thanks
