THemming/HttpCaptureBundle

Symfony bundle to capture http request and response data in your logs.

HTTP Capture Bundle

, _(*1)

A Symfony2 bundle that logs HTTP request and response information for debugging proposes. It can be switched on and off at will to help track down errors., _(*2)

This bundle was initially developed to help analyse REST web service interaction. The captured information is sent to the application logger (Monolog) over the channel "http_capture". With Symfony 2.0 all logging messages are directed to all message handlers. Symfony 2.1 will resolve this issue and it will be simple for all messages on the http_capture channel to be directed to a dedicated logging handler (file, database, monitoring system, etc...), _(*3)
