How do I see the whole HTTP request in Rails

Question

I have a Rails application but after some time of development/debugging I realized that it would be very helpful to be able to see the whole HTTP request in the logfiles - l

Answer 1

I've initially used the code snippet by @AlexChaffee, but I've since switched to using mitmproxy, a specialized HTTP proxy that records the requests and responses passing through it.

This is obviously only helpful for development scenarios when you control the applications making the requests. You might be able to achieve similar results with a reverse proxy for production applications (the advantage being that you don't have to touch the Rails application itself for this), but I haven't looked into this.
