Implemented Interfaces

SoupLogger implements SoupSessionFeature.

Includes

#include <libsoup/soup.h>

Description

SoupLogger watches a SoupSession and logs the HTTP traffic that it generates, for debugging purposes. Many applications use an environment variable to determine whether or not to use SoupLogger, and to determine the amount of debugging output.

To use SoupLogger, first create a logger with soup_logger_new(), optionally configure it with soup_logger_set_request_filter(), soup_logger_set_response_filter(), and soup_logger_set_printer(), and then attach it to a session (or multiple sessions) with soup_session_add_feature().

By default, the debugging output is sent to stdout, and looks something like:

> POST /unauth HTTP/1.1
> Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1200171744
> Soup-Debug: SoupSessionAsync 1 (0x612190), SoupMessage 1 (0x617000), SoupSocket 1 (0x612220)
> Host: localhost
> Content-Type: text/plain
> Connection: close
> 
> This is a test.
  
< HTTP/1.1 201 Created
< Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1200171744
< Soup-Debug: SoupMessage 1 (0x617000)
< Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2008 21:02:24 GMT
< Content-Length: 0

The Soup-Debug-Timestamp line gives the time (as a time_t) when the request was sent, or the response fully received.

The Soup-Debug line gives further debugging information about the SoupSession, SoupMessage, and SoupSocket involved; the hex numbers are the addresses of the objects in question (which may be useful if you are running in a debugger). The decimal IDs are simply counters that uniquely identify objects across the lifetime of the SoupLogger. In particular, this can be used to identify when multiple messages are sent across the same connection.

Currently, the request half of the message is logged just before the first byte of the request gets written to the network (from the “request_started” signal), which means that if you have not made the complete request body available at that point, it will not be logged.

The response is logged just after the last byte of the response body is read from the network (from the “got_body” or “got_informational” signal), which means that the “got_headers” signal, and anything triggered off it (such as “authenticate”) will be emitted before the response headers are actually logged.

If the response doesn't happen to trigger the “got_body” nor “got_informational” signals due to, for example, a cancellation before receiving the last byte of the response body, the response will still be logged on the event of the “finished” signal.

Functions

soup_logger_new ()

SoupLogger *
soup_logger_new (SoupLoggerLogLevel level,
                 int max_body_size);

Creates a new SoupLogger with the given debug level. If level is SOUP_LOGGER_LOG_BODY, max_body_size gives the maximum number of bytes of the body that will be logged. (-1 means "no limit".)

If you need finer control over what message parts are and aren't logged, use soup_logger_set_request_filter() and soup_logger_set_response_filter().

Parameters

level

the debug level

 

max_body_size

the maximum body size to output, or -1

 

Returns

a new SoupLogger


soup_logger_attach ()

void
soup_logger_attach (SoupLogger *logger,
                    SoupSession *session);

soup_logger_attach is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use soup_session_add_feature() instead.

Sets logger to watch session and print debug information for its messages.

(The session will take a reference on logger , which will be removed when you call soup_logger_detach(), or when the session is destroyed.)

Parameters

logger

a SoupLogger

 

session

a SoupSession

 

soup_logger_detach ()

void
soup_logger_detach (SoupLogger *logger,
                    SoupSession *session);

soup_logger_detach is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use soup_session_remove_feature() instead.

Stops logger from watching session .

Parameters

logger

a SoupLogger

 

session

a SoupSession

 

SoupLoggerFilter ()

SoupLoggerLogLevel
(*SoupLoggerFilter) (SoupLogger *logger,
                     SoupMessage *msg,
                     gpointer user_data);

The prototype for a logging filter. The filter callback will be invoked for each request or response, and should analyze it and return a SoupLoggerLogLevel value indicating how much of the message to log. Eg, it might choose between SOUP_LOGGER_LOG_BODY and SOUP_LOGGER_LOG_HEADERS depending on the Content-Type.

Parameters

logger

the SoupLogger

 

msg

the message being logged

 

user_data

the data passed to soup_logger_set_request_filter() or soup_logger_set_response_filter()

 

Returns

a SoupLoggerLogLevel value indicating how much of the message to log


soup_logger_set_request_filter ()

void
soup_logger_set_request_filter (SoupLogger *logger,
                                SoupLoggerFilter request_filter,
                                gpointer filter_data,
                                GDestroyNotify destroy);

Sets up a filter to determine the log level for a given request. For each HTTP request logger will invoke request_filter to determine how much (if any) of that request to log. (If you do not set a request filter, logger will just always log requests at the level passed to soup_logger_new().)

Parameters

logger

a SoupLogger

 

request_filter

the callback for request debugging

 

filter_data

data to pass to the callback

 

destroy

a GDestroyNotify to free filter_data

 

soup_logger_set_response_filter ()

void
soup_logger_set_response_filter (SoupLogger *logger,
                                 SoupLoggerFilter response_filter,
                                 gpointer filter_data,
                                 GDestroyNotify destroy);

Sets up a filter to determine the log level for a given response. For each HTTP response logger will invoke response_filter to determine how much (if any) of that response to log. (If you do not set a response filter, logger will just always log responses at the level passed to soup_logger_new().)

Parameters

logger

a SoupLogger

 

response_filter

the callback for response debugging

 

filter_data

data to pass to the callback

 

destroy

a GDestroyNotify to free filter_data

 

SoupLoggerPrinter ()

void
(*SoupLoggerPrinter) (SoupLogger *logger,
                      SoupLoggerLogLevel level,
                      char direction,
                      const char *data,
                      gpointer user_data);

The prototype for a custom printing callback.

level indicates what kind of information is being printed. Eg, it will be SOUP_LOGGER_LOG_HEADERS if data is header data.

direction is either '<', '>', or ' ', and data is the single line to print; the printer is expected to add a terminating newline.

To get the effect of the default printer, you would do:

1
printf ("%c %s\n", direction, data);

Parameters

logger

the SoupLogger

 

level

the level of the information being printed.

 

direction

a single-character prefix to data

 

data

data to print

 

user_data

the data passed to soup_logger_set_printer()

 

soup_logger_set_printer ()

void
soup_logger_set_printer (SoupLogger *logger,
                         SoupLoggerPrinter printer,
                         gpointer printer_data,
                         GDestroyNotify destroy);

Sets up an alternate log printing routine, if you don't want the log to go to stdout.

Parameters

logger

a SoupLogger

 

printer

the callback for printing logging output

 

printer_data

data to pass to the callback

 

destroy

a GDestroyNotify to free printer_data
