How do I print the content of httprequest request?

Question

I've got a bug involving httprequest, which happens sometimes, so I'd like to log HttpGet and HttpPost request's content when that happens.

So, let's say, I create HttpGet like this:

HttpGet g = new HttpGet();
g.setURI(new URI("http://www.google.com"));
g.setHeader("test", "hell yeah");

This is the string representation that I'd like to get:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
test: hell yeah

With the post request, I'd also like to get the content string.

What is the easiest way to do it in java for android?

Answer 1

You can print the request type using:

request.getMethod();

You can print all the headers as mentioned here:

Enumeration<String> headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();
while(headerNames.hasMoreElements()) {
  String headerName = headerNames.nextElement();
  System.out.println("Header Name - " + headerName + ", Value - " + request.getHeader(headerName));
}

To print all the request params, use this:

Enumeration<String> params = request.getParameterNames(); 
while(params.hasMoreElements()){
 String paramName = params.nextElement();
 System.out.println("Parameter Name - "+paramName+", Value - "+request.getParameter(paramName));
}

request is the instance of HttpServletRequest

You can beautify the outputs as you desire.
