Getting Started

It is really easy to start using and debugging your Http requests, just add a instance of HttpTracerHandler to your HttpClient creation and start picking up the traces in your Visual Studio console window.

using HttpTracer;
public async Task GetMyData()
{
    var tracer = new HttpTracerHandler();
    tracer.Verbosity = LogLevel.Information;
    var client = new HttpClient(tracer);
    var result = await client.GetAsync("http://myserviceurl.com");
}

If you happen to use custom Http Handlers in your project, we suggest you use our Http handler builder:

using HttpTracer;
public async Task GetMyData()
{
    var builder = new HttpHandlerBuilder();

    builder.AddHandler(new MyHandler3())
           .AddHandler(new MyHandler2())
           .AddHandler(new MyHandler1());
           
    var tracer = builder.Build();
    tracer.Verbosity = LogLevel.Information;
    
    var client = new HttpClient(tracer);
    var result = await client.GetAsync("http://myserviceurl.com");
}

You can use bitwise operators to combine your desired HttpMessagePart options:

private const HttpMessageParts DefaultHttpTracerVerbosity =
            HttpMessageParts.RequestAll | HttpMessageParts.ResponseHeaders;

You can set the verbosity for all of your HttpTracerHandler instances by setting HttpTracerHandler.DefaultVerbosity. To set verbosity at the per-instance level, use HttpTracerHandler.Verbosity which will override HttpTracerHandler.DefaultVerbosity.
