MCHTTPRequestLogger is an extension to AFNetworking that logs every requests and responses as they are sent and received. It is a lot more verbose than AFHTTPRequestOperationLogger, by design.

Just add the following code to your UIApplicationDelegate, in the method -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and you should see extensive information for each requests/responses in your Xcode console.

[[MCHTTPRequestLogger sharedLogger] startLogging];
// Set the JSONOutputStyle property to have pretty printed JSON output
[[MCHTTPRequestLogger sharedLogger] setJSONOutputStyle:MCHTTPRequestLoggerJSONOutputStylePrettyPrinted];

Add the MCHTTPRequestLoggerDefaultHeaderIgnore HTTP header to the NSMutableURLRequest like this:

[request addValue:@"YES" forHTTPHeaderField:MCHTTPRequestLoggerDefaultHeaderIgnore];

The value for the header is not important. To disable the logging, MCHTTPRequestLogger search only the presence of the header.

• This code has been known to work on iOS 5.x+.
• This code uses Automatic Reference Counting, if your project does not use ARC, you must add the -fobjc-arc compiler flag to each implementation files in Target Settings > Build Phases > Compile Source.
• This code also uses the literals syntax, so at least Xcode 4.5 is required.

If you're using CocoaPods, there's nothing simpler. Add the following to your Podfile and run pod install

pod 'MCHTTPRequestLogger'

Don't forget to #import "MCHTTPRequestLogger.h" where it's needed.
