You can include session debug logs in a REST response body by passing the
X-WantSessionDebugMessages header in the request.
To return session debug messages when session debugging is enabled for the current session,
set the header X-WantSessionDebugMessages to true in the REST
request.  
Note:  
You must enable session debugging before sending this header.  

## Request

This example demonstrates a Table API request made using REST API Explorer with
Session Debug SQL enabled.

    GET api/now/table/incident/9c573169c611228700193229fff72400
    X-WantSessionDebugMessages:true
    Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
    Accept: application/json, text/plain,*/*
    X-UserToken: <user token>

## Response body

    {
      "result":{
        "description":"User can't access email on mail.company.com.",
        "number":"INC0000001"
      },
      "session":{
        "debug_logs":[
           {
             "type":"sql",
             "customerUpdate":false,
             "line":"17:17:27.777: Time: 0:00:00.000 for: glide_master_db[glide.5] ..... sys_user_session0.`id` = '3BEA7001EB230200C46AC2EEF106FE2A'</span>",
             "debugClassSet":""
           },
          {
            "type":"sql",
            "customerUpdate":false,
            "line":"17:17:27.779: Time: 0:00:00.002 for: glide_master_db[glide.6]  ... `sys_id` = '7fea7001eb230200c46ac2eef106fe2a'</span>",
