summary: HTTP module returning info about requests for debugging

---

This module returns some info about HTTP requests as Prosody sees them

from an endpoint like `http://xmpp.example.net:5281/debug`.  This can be

used to validate [reverse-proxy configuration][doc:http] and similar use

cases.

# Example

```

$ curl -sSf  https://xmpp.example.net:5281/debug | json_pp

{

   "body" : "",

   "headers" : {

      "accept" : "*/*",

      "host" : "xmpp.example.net:5281",

      "user_agent" : "curl/7.74.0"

   },

   "httpversion" : "1.1",

   "id" : "jmFROQKoduU3",

   "ip" : "127.0.0.1",

   "method" : "GET",

   "path" : "/debug",

   "secure" : true,

   "url" : {

      "path" : "/debug"

   }

}

```

# Configuration

HTTP Methods handled can be configured via the `http_debug_methods`

setting. By default, the most common methods are already enabled.

```lua

http_debug_methods = { "GET"; "HEAD"; "DELETE"; "OPTIONS"; "PATCH"; "POST"; "PUT" };

```
