Http log cUrl command

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:

1. Create a Service Provider: You can create a service provider to register the macro.

2. Register the Macro: In the service provider, you can define a macro that logs the request as a cURL command.

3. Log the Request: Use the macro to log the request before it is sent.

Here's how you can implement this:

1. 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
   

2. 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;
           });
       }
   }
   

3. Register the Service Provider:

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

   'providers' => [
       // Other Service Providers
   
       App\Providers\HttpLoggingServiceProvider::class,
   ],
   

4. 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.
