Logging WS requests in playframework scala

gistfile1.scala

// I'm looking for a better solution for the time logging (preferable in a transparent way)

  private def logTime(message: String, promise: Future[Response]) = {
    // not 100% ok, request is already running
    // might even not be started yet
    val now = System.currentTimeMillis
    promise.onRedeem { response =>
      val time = System.currentTimeMillis - now
      logger.info(message + " => " + response.status + " " + time + "ms " + response.body.length + "b")
    }
    promise
  }  
  
  
  def user(slug: String): Future[Option[User]] = {
    val url = ...
    logTime(url,
      WS.url(url).get()
    ).map {
      ...handle response
    }
  }
  

I'll have to fork the play WS class then. Would have been nice if the async httpcliend had a global hook
