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

Example:

$ python manage.py debug_request https://localhost/admin/login/
