Reading an API Server Response

rubyonrails-talk

Hello,

I am trying to debug an API. Towards the end of the process, the remote server sends me a request. I respond to that request with: render :text => my_response, :status => 200. I am trying to find out how to read the remote server's response.

So basically this is a three part cycle. How do I access the third part?

1. Remote Server sends a request 2. I respond with text and a status of 200 3. Remote Server responds with the results of the transaction.

How do I access this third response? I specifically would like to log the body of the response so that I can read it and figure out what is going on through the api calls.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There's no such thing as a response to a response. #3 would be a second request, assuming that the remote server is programmed to initiate one. And in that case, presumably you'll know what URL it's requesting, right?
