If you're using Apache HttpClient you can turn on logging, see "How to enable logging for apache commons HttpClient on Android". The options for logging are very flexible.

But Google's energy is going into HttpURLConnection (see "Android Developer's Blog: Android's HTTP Clients"), perhaps somebody else can suggestion good ways to turn on logging there. There's one idea at "HTTP Get Using Android HttpURLConnection" though that particular example would disrupt your service.

Then there's always WireShark.

commons-logging defines classes that conflict with classes now provided by Android after Android Studio Update

Add to build.gradle located in app module

configurations {
    all {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
    }
}

commons-validator and error commons-logging defines classes that conflict with classes now provided by Android

The problem is with commons-logging. So it must be excluded.
Add the following code in app/build.gradle. It should work.

configurations {
    all {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
        exclude module: 'commons-logging'
    }
}
