Can we dump (see tags and values) the content of each PDU in scpproxy?

Hi - I'd like to use the scpproxy utility to debug the MWL communication between an SCP and SCU. The utility works but I need to see more information than the Pdu.short_description offered by the current implementation.

Can the content of PDUs be "dump'ed" on the UL level? In other words, can I build an InMemoryObject with the PDU without being able to pull the TransferSyntax from the Association?

The reason I'm asking is that it's a common task in my day job that I normally achieve using a network packet sniffer. The packet sniffer is fine but I would prefer a non-invasive, low footprint self contained utility like scpproxy.

Hello! An extension to scpproxy which tries to inspect and print the DICOM data sets in the PDUs would be welcomed. It should be a matter of following a similar convention to what is currently done in findscu in order to present the search results.

There is only the catch that neither findscu nor scpproxy are async at the moment. For scpproxy this means IIRC one thread per connection, and that it may be too inefficient to defer PDU interpretation to a separate task. Not that I anticipate this to incur a heavy perf penalty in the tool, but if not just to have more control over how much data is printed, I would but this under a CLI option.
