Report separate timing info for each redirect

[rosstex]

I did this

According to #1602, curl's timing behavior was changed to sum the values for each redirect when using -L. However, when a redirect results in a second DNS lookup and accesses a new IP address, it is not always useful to lump these times together, especially when timing resources which are served by CDN servers.

I expected the following

Curl should instead provide sequential timing information for each redirect separately.

Thanks, but this description sounds as if you're asking for a new feature/change. We use this tracker for bugs and issues only, we put ideas to work on in the future in the TODO document. We basically drown in good ideas so they don't do much use in our tracker.

If you really want to see this happen, start working on an implementation and submit a PR for it or join the mailing list and talk up more interest for it and see what help from others you can get!
