Description

The GODEBUG knob for http2 debugging (e.g. GODEBUG=http2debug=2) has proven to be very useful and popular.

Unfortunately it only works for HTTP/2.

There is code in the net/http package to do a similar thing for HTTP/1, but it's not accessible via an environment variable. Should we make it accessible with GODEBUG=http1debug=...?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the existing HTTP/1 debug code in net/http and add GODEBUG support similar to http2debug.
