Set verbose mode

Verbose mode is used to trace all requests and responses.

You have the option to log just headers or bodies or both.

client.setVerboseMode( HttpDebugLevel.HEADERS );

This way you will see logs similar to:

      POST /examples/servlets/servlet/RequestHeaderExample HTTP/1.1
      Content-Length: 12
      Content-Type: application/json

      Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
