The delta between CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME and CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME gives the sum of the time spent by the client in sending the HTTP request and the the time server spends in calculating a result. What I want is the time spent by the client to send the HTTP request seperately and the time server spends in calculating a result seperately. Is there a way to find out from curl that a HTTP request has been sent and now the client is waiting for a reply.
