• 📝 Logs request details (method, path, headers, body, timestamp)
• 🖥️ Provides a web UI to view and download request logs
• 🔄 Outputs request information to the console in real-time
• 💾 Stores all requests in a text file for persistence

• Optional: bash/zsh alias task='./task' with completion

Interact with VarLog

You can send any HTTP request to any path on the server:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/data -d '{"key": "value"}'

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/resource/123 -d '{"status": "updated"}'

curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/resource/123

To view the received requests visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ui in your browser.

You can also get the received requests from the api endpoint.
