# postbin
A simple Flask webserver to log all incoming requests with their headers and payloads.
## Installation
Install postbin using pip:
```
pip install postbin
```
## Usage
Start the server with
```
$ postbin
```
Then make requests, e.g. with curl:
```
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5000 \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Custom-Header: CustomValue" \
-d '{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}'
```
The postbin prints:
```
