Feature Request: Ability to Log API Request & Response #106

Closed npinchot closed 5 years ago

npinchot commented 5 years ago

General information

Issue description

I would like to be able to easily get a log or representation of the request and response that was sent & received for the API call. This is helpful in case we did not handle a request or response properly we can debug.

Hi @npinchot, if all you want to do is save off the raw request and response body, you can do so by saving request_body and response_body within the http class.

We don't currently have a formal logger implementation a la the ruby sdk, but we could think about adding one if there is a general need for one.

I'm curious as to what you mean by debugging an improper request or response - I would think the error result pattern would give you most if not all the information you need from a failed request to both log the failure and take steps to resolve it, but I don't know your use case. Can you share any details about what situation you're planning for with this request?
