Upstream_response_time

Server NGINX
#1

I am using

add_header x-responsetime $upstream_response_time;

to report response times of the back-end to the client. I was
expecting to see the back-end response time (e.g. 0.500 for half a
second), however the headers that I am getting contain an epoch
timestamp, e.g:

x-responsetime: 1392070197.589

What am I doing wrong?

may be better set default value of variable $upstream_response_time
to url on site nginx.org with faq/documentation, something like this:

===================================================================

The $upstream_response_time is only meaningful once response is
fully got from upstream, and this happens after response headers
are got (and sent to client). That is, you basically can’t use
$upstream_response_time in add_header, only in logs.

===================================================================

?

or, if only number allowed, some fail-safe value, for example, -1 or 0.
