119883 - Add HTTP request/response logging (or viewer)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27119

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Sergey V. Udaltsov]

Mozilla is a great tool for web development. With DOM inspector and JavaScript
console and debugger - it already way ahead of IE and others.

But for development of meta-sites, it would be very useful to have possibility
to see exactly HTTP requests and responses sent by mozilla. I think it is not a
big task (for the start, just logging to the text file would be nice).

[Olav Vitters]

Vinay Badami ([e-mail]) gave me the following information:

set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=nsHttp:2 will generate request response chunks...

request [
GET /blah HTTP/1.1
Host: ...
...
]
response [
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: ...
...
]

set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=nsHttp:5  will generate a complete http LOG() spew.

set NSPR_LOG_FILE=http.log  to redirect the output to a file
