Access to HTTP request?

[silentbugs]

Is it possible to directly access the request (python requests) object for low level HTTP handling?

I am writing a logger plugin and wanted to also log raw HTTP-related things, such as the method, request headers, request body, response headers, response body.

You can generally turn on logging by the requests module like this

import logging
from http.client import HTTPConnection

def debug_requests_on():
    """Switches on logging of the requests module."""
    HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1

    logging.basicConfig()
    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
    requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    requests_log.propagate = True

debug_requests_on()

Sadly I don't have the link from where I got it, but it's proven very useful

Another way you can do this is by creating request/response hooks for a session and using that session as transport

from zeep.client import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport
from requests import Session, Response

def log_traffic(r: Response):
    print(r.headers, r.request.body, "etc...")

with Session() as s:
    s.hooks["response"].append(lambda r, *args, **kwargs: log_traffic(r))
    transport = Transport(session=s)
    c = Client(transport=transport)
    response = c.service.myoperation()
