Http Logging/Tracing

[lambdakris]

Description of the feature request:

I have been working on an issue where HTTP logging/tracing for the LLM call would have been useful, but have been unable to find a way to capture/intercept http requests and responses. I tried using tools like LangSmith and Phoenix, however, since the generative-ai-python sdk itself doesn't seem to be instrumented, it didn't do much good. It looks like the sdk uses requests under the hood, and I was able to set the log level to DEBUG which helped a little bit, but I was not able to change what get's captured (such as headers, etc). Even a solution like being able to access the underlying http client and add hooks or something would suffice, but I was not able to find any documentation whatsoever on how to gain access to the underlying http client so no luck. I tried asking Gemini for help but it could not produce anything that worked, probably cause there just ain't no documentation around it.

What problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

I'm trying to troubleshoot http request issues

Any other information you'd like to share?
