Description

I'm trying to debug why Prometheus isn't pulling metrics from my client. Is there some way I can get this library to log each incoming http request, including the IP of the request?

Ideally it would be something like start_http_server(log_level="debug"), and then each request will be printed to stdout.

Research direction

Start at the start_http_server entry point and trace how incoming HTTP requests are handled. Determine where a debug-level option could control request logging, including the request IP, and consider the existing project tests or request-handling path for verification. Done means debug mode prints each request to stdout without changing normal behavior.
