request-debug is a Node.js utility library designed to monitor and debug HTTP(S) requests made by the now-deprecated `request` module. It provides an easy way to intercept and log request headers, bodies (for POST), response headers, response bodies (if a callback is provided to `request`), redirects, and authentication challenges. The current stable version is 0.2.0, and due to its dependency on the unmaintained `request` library, its release cadence is effectively none, making it an abandoned project. Its key differentiator was its tight integration with `request`, patching the module instance directly to emit detailed event data for each request lifecycle stage, either to stderr or via a user-defined callback function.
