Sorry, coudl have been clearer.

Unless you are using SSL-Bump or such to process the contents specially.
The duration is from the CONNECT message arriving to the time TCP close
is used to end the tunnel. The size should be the bytes sent to the
client (excluding the 200 reply message itself) during that time.
