Hi,

logger.info request.headers is giving me the headers of the request in  
development mode. However I can’t get the same on production mode.

Any hints?

Thanks

there is a line

config.log\_level = :error

or something the like in development.rb

you can change or remove that to get the right log level

or use logger.error instead of logger.info

Thanks Thorsten

> or use logger.error instead of logger.info

I did try that one also with the same result…

I like to use the firebug addon for firefox, it really helps with web  
design and as a bonus you can track requests, responses and see  
everything that travels over the network.

Its a helpful all round tool IMHO

Hi,

I need to inspect the request header I’m getting from a client in  
production mode.

Any hints anyone?

Thanks.

Thanks Matt!

Yeah I use firebug. That is great to see the requests I send from the  
browser for example. In my case the request is coming from a mobile  
device and I’d like to see how the request received by the server looks.
