How to print/log an Apache HttpClient request query string

Question

Is it possible to get hold of the actual query string that will be used for a HttpClient request (HttpPost, HttpGet etc.) either prior to or after calling client.execute(request)?

I'd like to do this because my request is failing and I want to debug the actual query string that's being used (it's an S3 file upload using HttpPost, so the parameters are complex).

Not sure if you've tried it, but the HTTP Client library has some logging settings you can enable.
