[QGIS-Developer] QGIS logger plugin in core

[Tim Sutton]

Hi All

A while ago we had a discussion here on the mailing list about adding Network logging to QGIS, similar to what you can do in your browser[1]. Nyall at the time (maybe others) was concerned about security implications of including a network logging tool in QGIS. We were wondering what specific security impacts could be expected (as opposed to for example installing Richard’s very nice logger plugin)[2]? In other words, is there really a good rationale not to port this to C++ and integrate into QGIS core? I think it is very broadly useful for anyone working with remote layers and trying to figure out why they are not loading...

Regards

Tim
