How can I initiate an Android-to-PC HTTP request over USB?

Question

This has been asked before, but did not receive a satisfactory answer.

From my Android application, I need to send an HTTP request to a PC attached via USB. Typ

Answer 1

If the Android phone supports USB tethering:

1. Connect the phone through USB cable
2. Enable USB tethering
3. A Local Area Network connection would be created in the IP Range 192.168.142.X [The IP for this LAN can be made static as well]

Now a web server running on the PC can be sent HTTP requests with this setup.
