I'm looking to capture HTTP traffic, on a gingerbread device (mainly the response) while on 3G/Mobile data, I know I can easily do this on WiFi using a custom proxy and some capture software, but the issue I'm attempting to capture only happens when on mobile data.

I've seen blogs relating to TCP Dump on a rooted device, but looks a bit too hardcore linux for me. I'm just after an application which would capture the HTTP response & request from an application. So far ones I've found are for WiFi/Bluetooth only

I'm an Android user but totally clueless with tech,I reckon Martian is your man

I can't see how you'd easily do it other than using TCPDump+Libpcap to log the traffic at the network interface. Collect a log, play it back into Wireshark and you should be able to see what's going on.

Well done it, used something called Shark For Root. You just run it in the background with a few parameters set & it captured the raw HTTP logs. It dumped them in the root of the SD & as you say Kevin, Wireshark told me what I needed to see.

Worked a treat, as I captured what I needed to on multiple operators & WiFi.

Quite pleased as the "dedicated" support team for this product were unable to resolve it, so came to my team. Yet again, we got the data required.

Well I did have to go to a meeting half way through what I was doing, get back 45 mins later. "Eh where was I?"

I do have one app here I think you'll like.

It basically kills all Wi-Fi access wherever you are, and the Wi-Fi only gets reinstated when YOU decide to allow it.
Let me know if you want a copy to play with

Sounds interesting, can it be customised to allow individual apps access?

Could cut down some of the noise from other apps when de-bugging

Unfortunately not, it simply denies network access to either individual devices or the whole building (your choice).
Not so much a useful tool, but fun to watch when the network techies try to work out where the packets are being lost (already done The Cloud in our local Weatherspoons)
