+## Implementing default logging and re-authentication attempts
+
+You can implement custom logging and/or limit re-auth attempts by creating a custom HTTP client
+like the following and setting it as the provider client's HTTP Client (via the
+`gophercloud.ProviderClient.HTTPClient` field):
+
+```go
+//...
+
+// LogRoundTripper satisfies the http.RoundTripper interface and is used to
+// customize the default Gophercloud RoundTripper to allow for logging.
+type LogRoundTripper struct {
+	rt                http.RoundTripper
+	numReauthAttempts int
+}
+
+// newHTTPClient return a custom HTTP client that allows for logging relevant
+// information before and after the HTTP request.
+func newHTTPClient() http.Client {
+	return http.Client{
+		Transport: &LogRoundTripper{
+			rt: http.DefaultTransport,
+		},
+	}
+}
+
+// RoundTrip performs a round-trip HTTP request and logs relevant information about it.
+func (lrt *LogRoundTripper) RoundTrip(request *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) {
+	glog.Infof("Request URL: %s\n", request.URL)
+
+	response, err := lrt.rt.RoundTrip(request)
+	if response == nil {
+		return nil, err
+	}
+
+	if response.StatusCode == http.StatusUnauthorized {
+		if lrt.numReauthAttempts == 3 {
+			return response, fmt.Errorf("Tried to re-authenticate 3 times with no success.")
+		}
+		lrt.numReauthAttempts++
+	}
+
+	glog.Debugf("Response Status: %s\n", response.Status)
+
+	return response, nil
+}
+
+endpoint := "https://127.0.0.1/auth"
+pc := openstack.NewClient(endpoint)
+pc.HTTPClient = newHTTPClient()
+
+//...
+```
