HTTPError diagnostics

[p-mongo]

When I try to use jira-ruby against our jira instance, I get the following error:

/home/w/.rbenv/versions/2.6.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/jira-ruby-1.7.0/lib/jira/request_client.rb:15:in `request': JIRA::HTTPError

This doesn't even show the HTTP error code, and ideally whatever API response error message was (if any) should also be forwarded.

I have not been able to find anything in the documentation to observe/log requests/responses, to troubleshoot errors like this. There is commented out code to insert a pry breakpoint in request_client.rb, but surely it is not expected that applications edit the source of their dependencies and perform interactive debugging each time to receive error information?
