This code works for 1.8.0 too although requires the same changes to api_dev.go, added a debug Option

valid options for Options.Debug are:
child - log everything including from the child dev_appserver.py process
debug - log all debug and higher
info - log all info and higher
warning - log all warning and higher
critical - log all critical and higher
error - log all error and higher

recorder_test fails however I don't use it and am not sure what it's for
