How to Capture the HTTP Header Sent/Received by a Mobile App?

Anyone know if this is possible?

I needed this a while ago and found some methods based on using WireShark.
If you're using a Mac, it might work without any special software. I have no experience with that.
On Windows, it depends on your network card driver. It needs to support promiscuous mode. Look into AirPCap.

I would think that this is also possible if you install a local VPN and let your phone connect to it. But WireShark/WinPCap doesn't support this. More research is needed.

Redirect your wi-fi connection through a proxy like http://portswigger.net/burp/

Use your computer wifi as the hotspot and fire up wireshark or any packet capture program.

As Archieaff said, use proxy software.

That means on your PC install and open Charles Proxy, and change setting of your wifi connection on Mobile Device to use this hotspot as proxy.

If you want to see them on 3g connection, you can only make it happen on ROOT'ed Android with:

And then open file recorded on your PC via wireshark to view logs.
