A simple function to print a Django request the way requests are meant to be printed.

pretty_request.py

def pretty_request(request):
    headers = ''
    for header, value in request.META.items():
        if not header.startswith('HTTP'):
            continue
        header = '-'.join([h.capitalize() for h in header[5:].lower().split('_')])
        headers += '{}: {}\n'.format(header, value)

    return (
        '{method} HTTP/1.1\n'
        'Content-Length: {content_length}\n'
        'Content-Type: {content_type}\n'
        '{headers}\n\n'
        '{body}'
    ).format(
        method=request.method,
        content_length=request.META['CONTENT_LENGTH'],
        content_type=request.META['CONTENT_TYPE'],
        headers=headers,
        body=request.body,
    )

Thanks!

Much obliged!

replaced body with pprint.pformat(json.loads(request.body), indent=2)
