Very simple http request-response log in database for debugging APIs.

I've used it to debug small API for Django, built with DRF.

.. warning::

This is not for production systems, if you want to handle reasonable amount of
data, please use `logstash`_, `Runscope`_, `django-request`_ or similar solutions.
Each one has it's own focus.

Quickstart
----------

Install django-httplog::

pip install django-httplog

Add 'httplog' to INSTALLED_APPS::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'httplog',
...
)

Make sure user model is available either via settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL or
``django.contrib.auth`` is installed too.

Launch ``manage.py syncdb`` or ``manage.py migrate``

Add middleware::

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
'httplog.middleware.RequestResponseLoggingMiddleware',
...
)

Add viewnames to log, or app_name (from ulrs.py) to log::

HTTPLOG_URLNAMES = ['urlname1', 'urlname_x']
HTTPLOG_APPS = ['my_super_app_name']

By default, nothing is logged.
