Yes. This is because every transaction in HTTP has data flowing in both
directions.

%>st logs the size of transaction for request.

You can also log the size of just the headers and subtract one from the
other to get body octet sizes (if any).

But in practice if you are billing it is best to use %st and bill on
total transaction bytes sent regardless of direction.
