Looking GlassSee exactly what is hitting your service

A drop-in HTTP request reflector. Point anything at it and get back the full request it sent.

Get Started

GitHub

Wildcard Everything

Every HTTP method on every path returns 200 with the full request reflected back.

Two Response Formats

HTML by default or JSON, chosen with the X-Glass-Format header, never the request's own Accept.

Copy As

The HTML view copies the request as pretty JSON or a raw HTTP dump, no devtools required.

Colored Activity Log

One readable line per request, so docker logs stays a clean access stream and request contents never leak.

Safe and Bounded

Reflected values are escaped, and request bodies are capped so a stray upload can't take the box down.

Tiny Image

A single static Go binary on a shell-less, non-root distroless base.

Why Looking Glass

When a webhook, a proxy or a client misbehaves, the first question is what request actually arrived. Answering it usually means adding log lines to the service, or reaching for a packet capture.

Looking Glass is a drop-in HTTP request reflector. Point anything at it, and every method on every path is answered with the full request it received: method, URL, query, headers, client address and body.
