Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the reported behavior using POST and GET requests, then trace the access-log handling to determine why POST request sizes are recorded as zero; done means POST entries report their actual request size for stats.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

state: need feedback type: feature enhancement

POST requests are logged with a size of "0"
GET requests are logged with the correct size

Is it possible to log the request size for POST requests too?
Want to do some stats based on access logs.

Tested with rest-server 0.9.6
