Pretty Print for Requests

[sundarv85]

Hello,

I have enabled elastic.SetTraceLog(log.New(os.Stdout, "", log.LstdFlags)) and have set the Pretty as true

    searchResult, err := client.Search().
        Index("twitter"). // search in index "twitter"
        Query(termQuery). // specify the query
        From(0).Size(10). // take documents 0-9
        Pretty(true).     // pretty print request and response JSON
        Do()    

This prints the response in the pretty format. However the request is not pretty. I’m using "gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v3"

@sundarv85 You're right. Using Pretty(true) simply makes Elastic pass pretty=true as a URL query parameter to Elasticsearch. So in the end, Elasticsearch will pretty print the response and I simply output the pretty-printed response. Elastic doesn't do anything to pretty print anything, neither request nor response. So it first of all is a documentation issue.

I will have to dig into net/http/httputil to see if there's anything I can do to get the HTTP request pretty printed.

I think I'll not be doing pretty-printing for the request side.
