Unable to debug request and response header

[tmoreira2020]

Hey Maurício, first of all congrats in building such easy to use API. I've been looking for it for years! 😄

I'm still on testing phase and one things that I'm having hard time it to send ImageMessages to my phone number using the test number provided by Facebook. I will figured out what is going on but it will be much easier if I could turn on and off debug modes.

I have it working locally in a hackie way, once I have time I will send you a PR with the required changes.

Obrigado

Hello @tmoreira2020 ,

I'm glad that you're using this SDK. I'm looking for a way to create a log for API requests. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Regarding image sending, here's a brief tutorial: There are 3 ways to send an image through the WhatsApp Business API:

• Uploading an image and then sending the message with the ID of that image:

        WhatsappApiFactory factory = WhatsappApiFactory.newInstance(TOKEN);
        WhatsappBusinessCloudApi whatsappBusinessCloudApi = factory.newBusinessCloudApi();

        var fileName = "starwars.png";
        // reading the image
        byte[] fileContent = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("src/test/resources/" + fileName));

        //uploading to whatsapp api
        var uploadResponse = whatsappBusinessCloudApi.uploadMedia(PHONE_NUMBER_ID, fileName, FileType.PNG, fileContent);

        System.out.println(uploadResponse);

        //sending the message with the image id returned after upload
        var imageMessage = new ImageMessage()//
                .setId(uploadResponse.id())// media id (uploaded before)
                .setCaption("See this image, please");

        var message = MessageBuilder.builder()//
                .setTo(PHONE_NUMBER_1)//
                .buildImageMessage(imageMessage);

        MessageResponse messageResponse = whatsappBusinessCloudApi.sendMessage(PHONE_NUMBER_ID, message);

        System.out.println(messageResponse);

• Sending a web link that points directly to the image.

        WhatsappApiFactory factory = WhatsappApiFactory.newInstance(TOKEN);

        WhatsappBusinessCloudApi whatsappBusinessCloudApi = factory.newBusinessCloudApi();

        var imageMessage = new ImageMessage()//
                .setLink("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/pt/4/45/Yoda.jpg").setCaption("See this image, please");

        var message = MessageBuilder.builder()//
                .setTo(PHONE_NUMBER_1)//
                .buildImageMessage(imageMessage);

        MessageResponse messageResponse = whatsappBusinessCloudApi.sendMessage(PHONE_NUMBER_ID, message);

        System.out.println(messageResponse);

• Sending via Message Template. Message templates are required when your business is responsible for initiating the first interaction with the customer. Within a 24-hour period from the customer's first interaction, you don't need to use a template. However, if it's been more than 24 hours, you will need a template.
