HN discussionThx! I don't have any plans to integrate them, as I don't use any of them. But it should be trivial to create a plugin for them using the httpx plugin system: https://honeyryderchuck.gitlab.io/httpx/wiki/Custom-Plugins , feel free to give it a try. httpx also ships with its own request/response logger, set HTTPX_DEBUG=1 or set the options so that you see an example.
