Question: Would it be possible to log request and response in the same log entry?

[bgalek]

Hi! One of my teams asked if my team could develop a logbook strategy that would log requests and responses in the same log message.

Example:

>> INCOMING >> AFTER REQUEST  
Request: GET /api/endpoint?parameter=allegro-pl  
  Body: <empty body>  
Response: Status 200, took 5 ms  
  Body: {"works":true}  

I can think of some potential problems (but this library solves some) BUT I wanted to know your opinion as maintainers! Did you thought about such feature? Or maybe I missed that this feature is actually supported? :)

friendly ping :)

Hey @bgalek, what you want to achieve is possible to do via a custom Sink implementation, that would write the log only when void write(Correlation correlation, HttpRequest, HttpResponse response) is called. See CommonsLogFormatSink as an example.
