I don't understand what for all of this. It is totally off topic. What
we need is the time of each request to write to ncsa log file similar to
what exists in apache and nginx log. There are lot of others parameters
in this file that are needed all together for using by many kinds of log
analyzers. It should be done not by external tools, but by varnish
itself like other web or proxy servers are doing. And I don't understand
why this simple and necessary thing is not implemented yet.
