HttpMataki.NET— a silent observer of HTTP communications. It can fully record the headers and bodies of requests and responses without disrupting the program's execution. It supports HTTPS (no need to configure or trust any certificates).

dotnet add package HttpMataki.NET.Auto

dotnet add package HttpMataki.NET

• Use when: You want automatic HTTP logging without modifying existing code
• Benefits:
  • Zero code changes required
  • Automatically intercepts all HTTP requests/responses
  • Works silently in the background
  • Perfect for debugging and monitoring existing applications

• Use when: HttpMataki.NET.Auto doesn't work in your environment or you need more control
• Requirements: You need to manually configure HttpClient with HttpLoggingHandler
• Benefits:
  • More explicit control over logging behavior
  • More compatible

HttpMataki.NET.Auto automatically intercepts all HTTP traffic without any code changes:

using HttpMataki.NET.Auto;

HttpClientAutoInterceptor.StartInterception();

// Your existing HttpClient code works unchanged
using var client1 = new HttpClient();
await client1.GetAsync("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");

// All HTTP requests and responses are automatically logged to console
// No code changes required!

HttpMataki.NET requires manual configuration of HttpClient:

using HttpMataki.NET;

// Create a custom logging action
Action<string> customLogger = message =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"[HTTP] {message}");
    // You can also log to files, databases, etc.
};

// Configure HttpClient with HttpLoggingHandler
var loggingHandler = new HttpLoggingHandler(customLogger);
using var client = new HttpClient(loggingHandler);

// Make HTTP requests - they will be logged using your custom logger
var response = await client.PostAsync("https://api.example.com/users",
    new StringContent("{\"name\":\"John Doe\"}", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));

• Comprehensive Logging: Captures URLs, HTTP methods, headers, status codes, and request/response bodies
• Multiple Content Type Support:
  • JSON and text content (logged as text)
  • File uploads (multipart/form-data) - saves files to temp directory
  • URL-encoded forms - parses and displays form fields
  • Images - saves to temp directory with full file paths
  • Binary content - displays as raw text when possible
• Smart Content Handling: Automatically detects and handles different content types appropriately
• Temporary File Management: Automatically saves uploaded files and images to organized temp directories
• Flexible Logging: Customize where and how logs are written (console, files, databases, etc.)

1. HttpMataki.NET.Auto not working?

   • Try using HttpMataki.NET instead
   • Ensure the interceptor is initialized early in your application lifecycle

2. Missing logs?

   • Verify the logging action is properly configured
   • Check if the HTTP requests are actually being made through HttpClient
