Is it possible to print on output the request (headers and body), in addition to the response, using HTTPie?
--verbose, -v Print the whole HTTP exchange (request and response).
If you want, you can print any combination of request headers, request body, response headers and response body independently. See --print

I used Charles to record a session and when I check one of the sessions, I found that there is no request body but I can see a response body, I am confused about this as how am I seeing a response without sending a request?
Also, I noticed that I can choose to see the request and response body on my phone's Charles, but on my desktop Charles, I can only see the tab called Content, I tried clicking on the request and response in the under the View tab, nothing happened as well. Does anyone know why?
Thanks!
I am confused about this as how am I seeing a response without sending a request?
A request consists of a few things:
Always: an HTTP method (GET, POST, or similar)
Always: a path (/document/123)
Optional: any number of HTTP headers (my-header: abc)
Optional: a request body
A response consists of:
Always: an HTTP status (404)
Always (in HTTP/1): an HTTP status message (Not Found)
Optional: any number of HTTP headers (my-header: abc)
Optional: a response body
In your case, you are sending a request, it's just that your request only contains a method, URL and headers, but no body. That's totally normal and this is very common for most HTTP requests.
The request and response body are totally independent: it's fine for neither to have a body, or for just one (either one) to have a body, or for both to have a body.
As an example, a GET request to https://google.com/search from a browser will include a method (GET) and a path (/search) and a selection of headers from the browser (such as a user-agent), but won't include any body, and the response will have a status (200) and message (OK), headers about the response data (e.g. content-length: ...) and the body will be the HTML for the google search page.
I'm on a M5Stack atom lite running micropython, making POST requests to a given endpoint with json payload. The following code leads to suspicious behaviour:
if (pin1.value()) == True:
if uart1.any():
try:
req = urequests.request(method='POST', url='https://my-server.com/my-endpoint', json={'requestCode':'yadayada'})
if req.status_code == 200:
rgb.setColorAll(0x00ff00)
rgb.setBrightness(100)
wait_ms(1500)
rgb.setBrightness(0)
else:
rgb.setColorAll(0xff0000)
rgb.setBrightness(100)
wait_ms(1500)
rgb.setBrightness(0)
except:
pass
wait_ms(2)
The first request succeeds and the correct payload is sent to the endpoint. Yet, all subsequent requests fail.
The same holds true for GET requests to https endpoints.
If I change to http, both GET and POST requests work fine, one after another.
Defining the content type in the headers has no effect.
Neither does closing the session right after the request (using headers).
As of request 2, to a https endpoint, I get the exception:
OSError(-17040, 'MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_PUBLIC_FAILED+MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_ALLOC_FAILED')
Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong with these https-requests? Thanks in advance for any hints!
I've figured out how to handle a GET request and get all query parameters but couldn't see how to get the JSON body of a POST request. And I went through all the keys of the lighty object but couldn't figure out how where the JSON body is stored. Is there a way to retrieve it?
lighttpd mod_magnet can manipulate the request from the request headers and can short-circuit a response, but the lighttpd hooks from which mod_magnet runs are before the request handler; mod_magnet does not have access to the request body, which may not have been received yet, since the request body is pulled in the request handler.
If you need access to the request body, then your code must run as a request handler. You can run your lua as a CGI script (mod_cgi) or some other backend, e.g. FastCGI (mod_fastcgi), SCGI (mod_scgi), HTTP (mod_proxy), etc.
I have to make 10 different http post method to server, and I'm doing this asynchronously. but my success of failure response will hit to same method. but if some request fails of time out i want to know which http cal has failed, is this possible to track. And how to get the tag value for the response.
I am writing a HTTP Proxy in Delphi 6 using Synapse library.
I know that a regular response has the following syntax:
A Status-line
Zero or more header (General|Response|Entity) fields followed by CRLF
An empty line indicating the end of the header fields
Optionally a message-body
But 100 Continue is not a regular one, is just a inter-response that tells the client to continue and must be followed by a final regular response.
So, should I expect a body in a 100 Continue response?
No, 1xx status responses must not have a body. See http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-26.html#rfc.section.3.3.p.5:
"The presence of a message body in a response depends on both the request method to which it is responding and the response status code (Section 3.1.2). Responses to the HEAD request method (Section 4.3.2 of [Part2]) never include a message body because the associated response header fields (e.g., Transfer-Encoding, Content-Length, etc.), if present, indicate only what their values would have been if the request method had been GET (Section 4.3.1 of [Part2]). 2xx (Successful) responses to a CONNECT request method (Section 4.3.6 of [Part2]) switch to tunnel mode instead of having a message body. All 1xx (Informational), 204 (No Content), and 304 (Not Modified) responses do not include a message body. All other responses do include a message body, although the body might be of zero length."
