Answer 1

If you're using swift, you can implement the following extension:

extension NSURLRequest: DebugPrintable {
    public func extendedDescription() -> String {

        var result = "<\(NSStringFromClass(self.dynamicType)): " + String(format: "%p", self)
        result += "; HTTPMethod=" + (HTTPMethod ?? "nil") + "; URL=\(URL); timeoutInterval=" + String(format: "%.1fs", timeoutInterval) + "> {"

        // Add header fields.
        if let headers = allHTTPHeaderFields {
            result += "\nallHTTPHeaderFields {"
            for (key, value) in headers {
                result += "\n\t\(key) : '\(value)'"
            }
            result += "\n}"
        }

        if let body = HTTPBody {
            result += "\nHTTPBody {\n " + ((NSString(data: body, encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding) ?? "") as String) + "}"
        }

        return result + "\n}"
    }

    public override var debugDescription: String {
        return extendedDescription()
    }

    public override var description: String {
        return extendedDescription()
    }
}

Or check out this gist: https://gist.github.com/tomaskraina/d644af49e4968de85e34

If printed out, it displays something similar to the following:

 {
allHTTPHeaderFields {
    Accept-Encoding : 'gzip'
    Content-Type : 'application/json'
    Accept : 'application/json'
}
HTTPBody {
    {"key1":"value1"}
}
}
