NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

    # In app.psgi
    use Plack::Builder;

    builder {
        enable "TrafficLog", with_body => 1;
    };

DESCRIPTION

This middleware logs the request and response messages with detailed information about headers and the 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 that have delayed response. In that case, each chunk is logged separately and shares the same unique ID number and headers.

The body of the request and response is not logged by default. For streaming responses, only the first chunk is logged by default.

CONFIGURATION

  • logger

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

        # traffic.l4p
        log4perl.logger.traffic = DEBUG, LogfileTraffic
        log4perl.appender.LogfileTraffic = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
        log4perl.appender.LogfileTraffic.filename = traffic.log
        log4perl.appender.LogfileTraffic.layout = PatternLayout
        log4perl.appender.LogfileTraffic.layout.ConversionPattern = %m{chomp}%n
        # app.psgi
        use Log::Log4perl qw(:levels get_logger);
        Log::Log4perl->init('traffic.l4p');
        my $logger = get_logger('traffic');

        enable "Plack::Middleware::TrafficLog",
            logger => sub { $logger->log($INFO, join '', @_) };
  • with_request

    The false value disables logging of the request message.

  • with_response

    The false value disables logging of the response message.

  • with_date

    The false value disables logging of the current date.

  • with_body

    The true value enables logging of the message's body.

  • with_all_chunks

    The true value enables logging of every chunk for streaming responses.

  • eol

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

  • body_eol

    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.

BUGS

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

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