Description

http://nginx.2469901.n2.nabble.com/Log-entire-header-amp-cookie-td7388501.html

This above nabble link explains the use case.

Basically I have a client who is getting the 400 request headers too large error. Before I blindly increase our limits, I was hoping to know exactly what it was they were sending that was causing the issue. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way for me to log all headers, I have to specify the header I want logged. I can't even be sure of the header they are sending, perhaps it is a malicious header that I'm unaware of.

If the above nabble just didn't mention that the feature was added, I apologize. I have been unable to find any documentation that leads me to believe the feature was added though.
