HTTP Request Logger

Build a reusable HTTP request logging system that tracks request and response metadata for API calls.

Requirements

Your task is to create a logging utility that:

1. Captures and logs request information (HTTP method, path, timestamp) when a request is initiated
2. Captures and logs response information (status code, request duration) when a response is received
3. Stores log entries in a configurable way (either to an array or to console)
4. Works as a wrapper around HTTP client requests

The logger should integrate with the HTTP request/response lifecycle and collect data at both the request phase (before sending) and response phase (after receiving).

Implementation

Test Cases

• When a GET request is made to "/users", the logger captures the method "GET" and path "/users" before the request completes @test
• When a POST request to "/posts" returns status 201, the logger captures the status code 201 @test
• When multiple requests are made, each request's logs are kept separate and in order @test
• The logger can be configured to write to different outputs (console vs array) @test

 * @param {Array} [config.logs] - Optional array to store log entries for testing
 * @returns {Function} A function that can wrap HTTP requests
