nginx: Log complete request/response with all headers

log-http-headers.md

1. switch nginx image to openresty/openresty

2. add the following to server/location (/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf)

   set $req_header "";
   set $resp_header "";
   header_filter_by_lua_block{ 
      local h = ngx.req.get_headers();
      for k, v in pairs(h) do
         ngx.var.req_header = ngx.var.req_header .. k.."="..v.." ";
      end
      local rh = ngx.resp.get_headers();
      for k, v in pairs(rh) do
         ngx.var.resp_header = ngx.var.resp_header .. k.."="..v.." ";
      end
   }

   lua_need_request_body on;
   set $resp_body "";
   body_filter_by_lua_block {
      local resp_body = string.sub(ngx.arg[1], 1, 1000)
      ngx.ctx.buffered = (ngx.ctx.buffered or "") .. resp_body
      if ngx.arg[2] then
         ngx.var.resp_body = ngx.ctx.buffered
      end
   }

   # access_log  /dev/stdout log_req_resp;
   access_log   /var/log/nginx-access.log log_req_resp;

3. add the following to http (/usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/nginx.conf)

   log_format log_req_resp '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
      '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '
      '$request_time req_header:"$req_header" resp_header:"$resp_header" '
      'req_body:"$request_body" resp_body:"$resp_body"';   

individual headers

request headers:$http_<header> 
 sent headers: $sent_http_<header>
