httpmon is an Android app developed by Jeffrey Blattman.

httpmon first became available on 27 Nov 2010. It is estimated that httpmon has been downloaded between 10000 and 50000 times from the Play Store.

httpmon 0.4.10 requires the following permissions:

Allows applications to access information about networks.

Allows applications to open network sockets.

Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.

Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Allows an application to send SMS messages.

Allows access to the vibrator.

Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
