I have a patch,
ns_logdump, at
http://www.theashergroup
.com/download/, that adds a Tcl and C API to AOLserver to dump
arbitrary hex/ascii strings into the log file.
Dump a string in hex and ascii to the log. Available from C or Tcl.
Useful in debugging new protocols
Add a C API and Tcl API for dumping HEX to the log.
void Ns_LogDumpString(Ns_LogSeverity severity, char *s, int len)
and
ns_logdump severity string
Severity is a standard ns_log severity constant, Notice, Warning,
Error, Debug, or Dev.
The output in the log file looks like:

The length of a line is controlled by a tcl config parameter,
dumpbytesperline, that defaults to 32.

This patch modifies: nsd/log.c, nsd/nsconf.c, nsd/nsconf.h, nsd/nsd.h,
nsd/tclcmds.c.
I have found this useful in hooking the ACS up to new services
(Tellme, Voxeo, SOAP), or when trying to determine how to ns_httpget
binaries.
