To log requests sent and responses received by the client, use `set_logger()`. If you only care about errors, there's a separate `set_error_logger()`.
|
|
|
|
## Log requests and responses
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
httplib::Client cli("https://api.example.com");
|
|
|
|
cli.set_logger([](const httplib::Request &req, const httplib::Response &res) {
|
|
std::cout << req.method << " " << req.path
|
|
<< " -> " << res.status << std::endl;
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
auto res = cli.Get("/users");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The callback you pass to `set_logger()` fires once for each completed request. You get both the request and the response as arguments — so you can log the method, path, status, headers, body, or whatever else you need.
|
|
|
|
## Catch errors only
|
|
|
|
When a network-layer error happens (like `Error::Connection`), `set_logger()` is **not** called — there's no response to log. For those cases, use `set_error_logger()`.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
cli.set_error_logger([](const httplib::Error &err, const httplib::Request *req) {
|
|
std::cerr << "error: " << httplib::to_string(err);
|
|
if (req) {
|
|
std::cerr << " (" << req->method << " " << req->path << ")";
|
|
}
|
|
std::cerr << std::endl;
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The second argument `req` can be null — it happens when the failure occurred before the request was built. Always null-check before dereferencing.
|
|
|
|
## Use both together
|
|
|
|
A nice pattern is to log successes through one, failures through the other.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
cli.set_logger([](const auto &req, const auto &res) {
|
|
std::cout << "[ok] " << req.method << " " << req.path
|
|
<< " " << res.status << std::endl;
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
cli.set_error_logger([](const auto &err, const auto *req) {
|
|
std::cerr << "[ng] " << httplib::to_string(err);
|
|
if (req) std::cerr << " " << req->method << " " << req->path;
|
|
std::cerr << std::endl;
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** The log callbacks run synchronously on the same thread as the request. Heavy work inside them slows the request down — push it to a background queue if you need to do anything expensive.
