http access log attributes do not work

[jrongs]

certain http access log attributes do not work, namely %t, %D
always getting "-" for those attributes in the log.

for the following pattern:
%t "%r" %s %b %D "%{i,Referer}" "%{i,User-Agent}"

getting the following line in the log file:

• "GET /_health HTTP_1_1" 200 2 - "-" "curl/7.58.0"

Expected behavior
%t - Date and time, in Common Log Format format
%D - Time taken to process the request, in millis

Actual behavior

always getting dashes ("-") for those attributes

To Reproduce
see the Configuration section.

Configuration

quarkus.http.access-log.enabled = true
quarkus.http.access-log.pattern = %t "%r" %s %b %D "%{i,Referer}" "%{i,User-Agent}"
quarkus.http.access-log.log-to-file = true
quarkus.http.access-log.base-file-name = http-access
quarkus.http.access-log.log-directory = /var/log/quarkus/http

Environment (please complete the following information):

You need to set quarkus.http.record-request-start-time=true for %D to work, %t should be working though.

@stuartwdouglas thank you. I have verified that %D is now working after setting quarkus.http.record-request-start-time=true. I'll do some investigation on %t and report back.

The %t issue should be fixed by #9936
