Http log cUrl command

Level 58

To achieve logging of HTTP requests as cURL commands in Laravel, you can use a middleware or a macro to intercept and log the requests. Here's a solution using a macro to extend the Http facade:

Create a Service Provider: You can create a service provider to register the macro.
Register the Macro: In the service provider, you can define a macro that logs the request as a cURL command.
Log the Request: Use the macro to log the request before it is sent.

Here's how you can implement this:

Create a Service Provider (if you don't have one already):

Run the following command to create a service provider:
```
php artisan make:provider HttpLoggingServiceProvider
```

Register the Macro in the Service Provider:

Open the newly created HttpLoggingServiceProvider and add the following code:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class HttpLoggingServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }

    public function boot()
    {
        Http::macro('logAsCurl', function () {
            $this->beforeSending(function ($request) {
                $method = strtoupper($request->method());
                $url = $request->url();
                $options = $request->options();

                $curlCommand = "curl -X{$method}";

                if (isset($options['verify']) && !$options['verify']) {
                    $curlCommand .= " -k";
                }

                if (isset($options['allow_redirects']) && $options['allow_redirects']) {
                    $curlCommand .= " -L";
                }

                if (isset($options['connect_timeout'])) {
                    $curlCommand .= " --connect-timeout={$options['connect_timeout']}";
                }

                if (isset($options['timeout'])) {
                    $curlCommand .= " --max-time={$options['timeout']}";
                }

                $curlCommand .= " --url '{$url}'";

                // Log the cURL command
                \Log::info('HTTP Request as cURL: ' . $curlCommand);
            });

            return $this;
        });
    }
}

Register the Service Provider:

Add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // Other Service Providers

    App\Providers\HttpLoggingServiceProvider::class,
],

Use the Macro in Your HTTP Requests:

Now, you can use the logAsCurl macro in your HTTP requests:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

$response = Http::logAsCurl()
    ->withoutVerifying()
    ->timeout(60)
    ->connectTimeout(10)
    ->get('http://example.com');

This setup will log each HTTP request as a cURL command in your application's log files, allowing you to see exactly how the request is being made.
