This is a FastAPI application designed to log all incoming HTTP traffic. It captures and logs a wide range of details for each request and response, such as the HTTP method, URL, headers, body content, and more.
The log information is stored in a local file named app.log.
- Logs request method, URL, size, headers, and body.
- Logs response status code, size, headers.
- Logs client's IP address.
- Logs the processing time of each request.
The application is primarily comprised of a middleware function log_traffic and a catch-all API route.
The log_traffic middleware function is responsible for processing each request and response, extracting relevant details, and logging them.
The catch-all route {rest_of_path:path} is a wildcard route that matches any path and HTTP method, allowing the application to handle and log all incoming requests, regardless of the endpoint or method used.
Ensure you have Python 3.6 or later installed.
- First, you'll need to install FastAPI and Uvicorn (the ASGI server used to run FastAPI applications). If you haven't done so already, install them using pip:
pip install fastapi uvicorn- To start the server, navigate to the directory containing your FastAPI application file (named
main.pyby default), and run the following command:
uvicorn main:app --reloadThe --reload flag enables hot reloading, which means the server will automatically update whenever you make changes to your code.
Your FastAPI application should now be running at http://localhost:8000. Any incoming HTTP requests will be logged and their details stored in app.log.
Please note that as this is a basic application for demonstration purposes, it does not include features you would typically find in a production-ready application, such as authentication, error handling, and tests.
