+=== Wiretap
+
+The Reactor Netty `HttpClient` and `HttpServer` can have wiretap enabled. When combined
+with setting the `reactor.netty` log level to `DEBUG` or `TRACE` will enable logging of
+information such as headers and bodies sent and received across the wire. To enable this,
+set `spring.cloud.gateway.httpserver.wiretap=true` and/or
+`spring.cloud.gateway.httpclient.wiretap=true` for the `HttpServer` and `HttpClient`
+respectively.
