Expose debug info #42

Open kurin opened 6 years ago

In #41 a user noticed that there was no data going, but didn't have good visibility into what was happening.

Should b2 expose debug info? If so, how?

kurin commented 6 years ago

We already have Client.Status(), but getting information out of this requires application authors to take advantage of it. It might be nice to provide either a debug page listening (off the default mux) on a local socket or at least a library that makes it easy to do so.

This needs to find a balance between "once you need it, you'll wish you had enabled it" and "don't do weird, unexpected nonsense like put http servers on random sockets."

Maybe for now just add ServeHTTP to b2.Client and let app authors call http.Handle("/b2what", client) if they like.
