Spying on Ruby’s Net::HTTP

I’ve heard two people complain that they can’t see OAuth HTTP behavior and get unexpected 401s. If you want to see what’s going on at the transport level, here’s a monkeypatch (depends on ActiveSupport for the alias_method_chain) just for you:

class Net::HTTP

  def initialize_with_debug(*args, &block)
    initialize_without_debug(*args, &block)
    set_debug_output $stderr
  end

  alias_method_chain :initialize, :debug
end
