you probably want .body() to get the content of the request

You can .inspect the object to output its contents, but keep in mind this object is a class that contains more than just one string. If there is a specific piece of data you are after please add that to your question.

Rails.logger.debug(request.inspect)

ActionDispatch::Request documentation - look here for individual instance methods that may contain the information you're after.

Yes this will return you the correct result.

Rails.logger.info(request)

What you have written, that normally returns an array.
