It is possible to increase the log verbosity of Apache's http client, so you'll be able
to get more information from that layer.
Alternatively, you can add the following to the jboss run.sh in the java_opts:

-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog
-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime=true
-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.http=DEBUG
-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.http.wire=ERROR

More info on httpclient logging available here: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/logging.html
