NAME

Plack::Middleware::TrafficLog - Log headers and body of HTTP traffic

SYNOPSIS

# In app.psgi
use Plack::Builder;

builder {
    enable "TrafficLog";
};

DESCRIPTION

This middleware logs the request and response messages with detailed information about headers and body.

The example log:

[08/Aug/2012:16:59:47 +0200] [164836368] [127.0.0.1 -> 0:5000] [Request ]
|GET / HTTP/1.1|Connection: TE, close|Host: localhost:5000|TE: deflate,gzi
p;q=0.3|User-Agent: lwp-request/6.03 libwww-perl/6.03||
[08/Aug/2012:16:59:47 +0200] [164836368] [127.0.0.1 <- 0:5000] [Response]
|HTTP/1.0 200 OK|Content-Type: text/plain||Hello World

This module works also with applications which have delayed response. In that case each chunk is logged separately and shares the same unique ID number and headers.

CONFIGURATION

Sets a callback to print log message to. It prints to psgi.errors output stream by default.

The false value disables logging of request message.

The false value disables logging of response message.

The false value disables logging of current date.

The false value disables logging of message's body.

Sets the line separator for message's headers and body. The default value is the pipe character |.

Sets the line separator for message's body only. The default is the space character . The default value is used only if eol is also undefined.

SEE ALSO

Plack, Plack::Middleware::AccessLog.

BUGS

This module has unstable API and it can be changed in future.

The log file can contain the binary data if the PSGI server provides binary files.
