Description

Related to #239, it is occasionally important to observe how the HTTP traffic actually interacted with the network on a live PCAP. A companion feature is therefore to be able to specify a file path to which we can log the TLS session keys.

This and #239 are complementary: #239 is capable of doing things this cannot (such as generating PCAPs for traffic over Unix sockets), and this is capable of doing things #239 cannot (actually logging specific packet details). It'd be useful to have both.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by comparing the proposed TLS session-key logging behavior with related issue #239 and determine where TLS configuration is exposed; done means providing a file-path option that records session keys for live HTTP traffic without conflating this with PCAP generation.
