How can I display all the HTTP Headers when using the DefaultHTTPClient?

Question

When using the DefaultHttpClient() from the Apache Commons HTTP Client, is it possible to show the full request in the console output for debugging purposes?

Having added this configuration, Logback's log appenders will now show useful HttpClient-related information about HTTP request and response headers, among other things.
