verified May 27, 2026

http-debug is a lightweight utility designed to provide verbose debugging output for Node.js `http` and `https` requests. It operates by patching Node's built-in `http` and `https` modules to intercept and log request, write, end, and socket events to `stderr`. The current stable version is `0.1.2`. Given its low version number and the age of the provided changelog, the project appears to have a very slow or effectively ceased release cadence, last updated around 2013-2014. Its primary differentiator is its simplicity and direct global patching approach, allowing for debugging without modifying application code for each request, though this can lead to conflicts. It supports enabling debugging via `process.env.HTTP_DEBUG` or by setting `http.debug` at runtime, offering different verbosity levels.
