Need to log http requests

Hi folks,

I am trying to build this GUI application that will perform some http requests to a specific server.

Basically I will use curl to "pretend" that it is a browser a sending an http request from a form.

My http knowledge is very low, and the site is tricky, but I think if I could log the http requests that my browser is sending out, I could figure out how to overcome the problem.

Can someone teach me how I could do this? Is there a command I could type on the terminal that would return me the http requests my browser is sendin out?

Thank you,

In case of Apache, all the requests are logged under
$INSTALL/logs/access_log.<TimeStamp>

By default the log level is set to warn (medium) in http.conf.
You can increase to get all requests. I have not tried this if this only effects error_log or acccess_log files also.

Regards,
Rishi

Hi Rish,


Thanks for trying to help.

But you did not understand me.

I don't want to see my apache's log, I want to see the requests my browser is sending to a remote server.

I got a solution for this, so I will post it here so others can benefit from my experience:

Mozilla has an extension called "LiveHttpHeaders" that does the trick,

Thanks!
