Description
LWP::Debug::TraceHTTP looks as a suitable and lightweight alternative for tracing HTTP calls within LWP — lightweight, because it depends only on the non-core module Data::Dump (but which is available as a Debian package), unlike other alternatives like LWP::ConsoleLogger or LWP::Protocol::Net::Curl.
But unfortunately this module only does HTTP, which is not very useful anymore in the modern internet. It seems that simply cloning the TraceHTTP.pm module and doing a s/http/https/g would work here.
I can provide a PR if this proposal is accepted.
