Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/5292

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

curl with --verbose gives tcp level back and forth for a request.
Insomnia client has this as well. It shows handshakes, TLS back and forths, and the raw request/response.

Looking at the project, and dev tools, it appears this is a chromium/edge based browser app. There must be a way to intercept tcp data and show this in the console, or even better through another tab in the request/response panels.

Why should this be worked on?

This would be a nice feature to have. This is the last thing I can tell hoppscotch is missing to set itself apart from the other tools

Hi @chris-clark-serverless, the desktop app provides exactly what you're looking for. It captures similar TCP-level network traces to curl --verbose, like:

tls handshake details / certificate information
raw HTTP request/response headers
connection timing and DNS resolution
detailed cURL-like debug output
and much more

These verbose logs are saved to:

Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\io.hoppscotch.desktop\logs\io.hoppscotch.desktop.log
macOS: ~/Library/Logs/io.hoppscotch.desktop/io.hoppscotch.desktop.log
Linux: ~/.local/share/io.hoppscotch.desktop/logs/io.hoppscotch.desktop.log

You can download the desktop app from https://hoppscotch.com/download

Let me know if this helps!
