logging response

[truchty]

Hi,

this is a simple debugging request: how do I log the data returned by
a gateway? i don't want a response object yet, but rather just the
actual data. My gateway is a subclass of the authorize.net gateway,
and the response object is coming back empty. I'm trying to figure out
what the gateway is replying with so I can create the correct response
object. here's what i figured out:

-auth.net gateway's purchase method calls auth.net gateway's commit
method
-inside commit method (line 230 in authorize_net.rb) i want to log the
results of the variable "url".
-after typing 'require logger' at the top, i typed this line after the
url variable is set:
-Logger.new(STDOUT).info('URL is #{url}')

Nothing happens. Help, gurus?

thanks!

In posts_data.rb ssl_post method you can add the following line to
dump the HTTP request and response to standard output:

http.set_debug_output(STDOUT)

Can someone post what a successful authorize.net request and response
look like? Since I'm trying to subclass the authorize.net gateway
class, this would help a lot.

That worked, Cody, thank you.

Look in test/unit/gateways/authorize_net_test.rb. There are successful
responses in the file that are used for the tests.
