We looked at using a valve but we weren't sure if it would work. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears as though valves are chained together in a calling sequence and that some valves could change the content of the request or response. This means we may not get an accurate measure of the number of total number bytes that make up the request.
Also, the AccessLogValve has a pattern code to get the number of bytes sent, excluding the HTTP headers, but does not have a pattern code to get the number of bytes sent, including the HTTP headers, which is what we really need. Have I missed something?

You can probably start with the AccessLogValve that ships with Tomcat: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/valve.html Out of the box it will get you the complete bytes in the response. See the above docs on how to configure that. If you want to log the complete bytes on the request, I think you'll have to extend the Valve, but it should be pretty easy to do.
