Great.

This is currently not possible, just like it's not possible
to log the server response as "clear text".

The bodies can become large and to log them in clear text
Privoxy would have to completely buffer them first.

It's also not clear to me how Privoxy should log bytes like
\r and \n etc. in "clear text".

I'm not sure why you "only get the domain name", though.
Enabling "debug   512" should result in the whole URL being logged
like this:
127.0.0.1 - - [27/Jan/2022:12:03:48 +0100] "POST https://www.electrobsd.org/test/overwrite-test-value HTTP/1.1" 200 146
