Apache Module mod_dumpio

Description: Dumps all I/O to error log as desired.
Status: Extension
ModuleIdentifier: dumpio_module
SourceFile: mod_dumpio.c

Summary

mod_dumpio allows for the logging of all input received by Apache and/or all output sent by Apache to be logged (dumped) to the error.log file.

The data logging is done right after SSL decoding (for input) and right before SSL encoding (for output). As can be expected, this can produce extreme volumes of data, and should only be used when debugging problems.

Enabling dumpio Support

To enable the module, it should be compiled and loaded in to your running Apache configuration. Logging can then be enabled or disabled separately for input and output via the below directives. Additionally, mod_dumpio needs to be configured to LogLevel trace7:

LogLevel dumpio:trace7
