1. A method of logging information in a computer network having a Web client connectable to a Web server, comprising the steps of:
- calculating a response time associated with a first HTTP request from the Web client to the Web server; and
passing the response time associated with the first HTTP request using a second HTTP request from the Web client to the Web server;
wherein the second HTTP request includes a response time protocol cookie in which the response time associated with the first HTTP request is passed.

Abstract
A method of logging information in a computer network having a Web client connectable to a Web server. In response to the HTTP request (and as a result of receiving a response to that request), a response time associated with that first HTTP request is calculated. Thereafter, the response time calculated is passed from the Web client on a subsequent HTTP request to that Web server, where the information is logged for later use. In a preferred embodiment, the response time associated with the first HTTP request is passed in a cookie of the second HTTP request.

7. A method of logging information in a computer network having a Web client connectable to a Web server, comprising the steps of:
-
at the Web client, calculating a response time associated with a first HTTP request from the Web client to the Web server; passing the response time associated with the first HTTP request in a response time protocol cookie of a second HTTP request from the Web client to the Web server; and at the Web server, recording the response time associated with the first HTTP request. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer program product in a computer-readable medium for monitoring response time in a Web client connectable to a Web server in a computer network, comprising:
-
first program code means, responsive to a first HTTP request from the Web client to the Web server, for calculating a response time associated with the first HTTP request; and second program code means, responsive to the calculating means and a second HTTP request, for placing the response time in a response time protocol cookie associated with the second HTTP request. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A computer for use as a server in a computer network having a Web client connectable to the computer, comprising:
-
a processor; an operating system; a Web server program; first program code means responsive to receipt of a current HTTP request from the Web client for retrieving from the HTTP request a response time protocol cookie, the response time protocol cookie including information identifying a response time associated with a prior HTTP request from the Web client to the Web server program; and second program code means for logging the response time.
