[resolved] How can I see the request being sent to the server?

Post by jidanni »

How can I see the request being sent to the server?

How can I be sure the application is sending what I think it should be sending?

Is it some setting in
https://www.offline-maps.net/en/help/se ... r-settings ?

It's hard to read on a cell phone.

No, all the method on viewtopic.php?t=2307 shows for us in Details is 404. But we want to see what the URL that caused it looks like. And also the User-Agent.

Not that I am just moving the map around on the screen, not downloading a rectangle.
https://www.offline-maps.net/en/help/se ... r-settings suggests
core.logs.verbose=true
But alas, still no showing network traffic!

Sure, you might say that traffic is shown on the map itself, via little messages.

But that's not enough. We want to see the HTTP request content.

We see

Code: Select all

maps.debug	Boolean	0 / false	
Activate the debug mode for maps: increases logs for maps and displays map tile bounds and coordinates.
but that means we must try it to see if it will show us the HTTPS traffic, because we can't tell from just reading that...

OK, maps.debug does indeed put the request in the log file!!
Do mention that here,
# https://www.offline-maps.net/en/help/se ... r-settings
# https://www.alpinequest.net/en/help/v2/ ... r-settings

Also the tile numbers are the same general numbers, no matter what map.
So mention that too.

I've updated the online help:
# Activate the debug mode for maps: log custom variables evaluations ​and tiles requests, draw on the screen ​the tiles bounds and coordinates of all displayed maps.
