I am using Django Haystack with ElasticSearch for my Web application. I hit a problem where using Haystack's `rebuild_index` command in certain environments results in an ElasticSearch index that does not match the structure it should. I want to check exactly what requests are being sent to ElasticSearch. Is there a way for me to log requests sent to ElasticSearch or otherwise see what is being received? I am using: ElasticSearch 0.19.9 Django 1.4.1 Haystack 2.0.0-beta Mac OS X 10.7 -- ---

Sometimes i use tcpmon to control tcp requests/responses while developing. [http://java.net/projects/tcpmon](http://java.net/projects/tcpmon) Am Samstag, 15.

A tool to Encode/Decode Get requests, logged by tcpmon, can be found here: [http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/](http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/) Am Mittwoch, 19.

tcpmon was exactly what I needed to solve the problem!
