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

In USB it is always the host (the PC in your case) which initiates the communication. So you'll need to use tricks to appear that the Android device sends a request. The PC might periodically poll Android (say, every 100 ms) if it has a HTTP request pending and collect it accordingly, similar to what jackbot did. I guess that's what Android to USB Port Forwarding did.
