Hi guys,

You know how you can “copy as cURL” in chrome devtools?

I’m looking for something similar where an incoming URL is converted to a CURL command and Logger.debugged or something. Would be nice for debugging webhooks.

I’ve been looking but could there be a Plug for this?

If none of those packages don’t help, then I wouldn’t have any additional ideas. Maybe look for Erlang libraries for it?

If it doesn’t exist yet it is certainly feasible to write it as a plug. You would basically gather the request method, URL, body, and headers (all of which are of course available to plugs), format them as a CURL command line invocation, and finally log it.

Thanks guys. Turns out it’s actually very easy for my very specific/limited use case. :+1:
