It works only half of the time. It seems that some buffer doesn't get cleared between page refreshes and I get "ghost" logs from previous logging, or it doesn't work at all. Also, the infamous "Headers too big" error, where it doesn't even try show at least part of the messages. Looking for a new extension, or enough time to write my own. Stay away from it

Liked, however it does not show the logs from POST requests which respond with redirect header (location: URL), so it misses logs.

It would be very handy to add autoexpand to a plugin configuration (or in plugin switch). It's very annoying to keep clicking and clicking to expand, such as the contents of an array
