Debugging Content Objects

Forrest2 provides some special url extensions that allow a Content Object developer to debug the processing a request undergoes. This document provides an overview of these extensions.

In all cases you simply add the extension to the request URL you are working with.

.forrestPipeline

A request with this extension will return an XML representation of the pipeline executed in order to create the document request.

.forrestSource

A request with this extension will return the source document read by Forrest2.

.forrestInternal

A request with this extension will return the document produced when Forrest has finished processing the source with the relevant internal plugins.
