How to view Boto3 HTTPS request string

python boto3 botocore

I have been able to view the attributes of the PreparedRequest that botocore sends, but I'm wondering how I can view the exact request string that is sent to AWS. I need the exact request string to be able to compare it to another application I'm testing AWS calls with.

You could also enable debug logging in boto3. That will log all requests and responses as well as lots of other things. Its a bit obscure to enable it:

import boto3
boto3.set_stream_logger(name='botocore')

The reason you have to specify botocore as the name to log is that all of the actual requests and responses happen at the botocore layer.
