Description

When a bad request is submitted to the REST API, often the only indication of an error is the response code that you get back. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot problems and add features. This can make life for the UI team and others more difficult than it needs to be.

I think the following enhancements would be very helpful.

1. Every request received by the REST API along with the headers and body should be logged.

2. Every response returned by the REST API should be logged.

3. Instructions should be provided to turn on debug logging when the REST API is deployed. For example, how do I turn on debug logging in Full Dev?
