Similar idea than https://uriteller.io. This is nice way to check whether your end to end encrypted chat is really secure or not.

I created a similar idea a while back when Gmail started caching images. The main advantage is the image itself contains the log: http://cache-logger.herokuapp.com/hello-world
Code can be found here: https://github.com/kale/image-cache-logger
