Execute cURL-like commands with logging within your Django production environment.

Project description

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/django-debug-request.svg

It’s cURL in your Django! This is a very small and light-weight alternative to something like django-debug-toolbar that is useful to use in production when you need to figure out what is going wrong. It consists of one management command that supports limited subsect of the cURL command’s arguments, but executes the request inside the Django stack using django.test.client.Client – with extended debug output.

Tested with Django 4.2 and 5.0.

Installation

First, install the package:

pip install django-debug request

Then, add it to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    …
    "django_debug_request",
]

That’s it!

Usage

Use your app in production and choose “Copy to cURL” in your browser’s developer tools for the request you are interested in. Replace curl with python manage.py debug_request and run it against your server.

Supported cURL options:

  • -X/--method

  • -H/--header

  • -data-raw

  • --compressed (will be ignored since you probably do not like compressd output, but is supported for compatibility with cURL lines generated by Chrome)

Supported other options

  • --print-sql Log all SQL queries
