There's also PCAPdroid [1] which you can run straight from your phone with no root. Works with https traffic too when you enable the mitm setting.

Downloading file using HTTP Request GET or PUT results in an empty file
Also whenever I mess around with http stuff I like to use tools like Fiddler Classic (PC) and PCAPdroid (Android) to know what I need to do vs. what I'm sending/requesting. With this you can perform the desired action manually while capturing all the packets of that action with headers. Then when you replicate the functionality, you capture the packets again and compare both to verify that your code behaves identically/similarly to what you manually did.

Questions about Android version updates and security update support for Xiaomi
I'm rather fond of PCAPdroid, just leave everything to default and start monitoring. Ideally you should only see ~100b be sent via netd and nothing else if you are not using your phone (and disabled background update checks in say NetGuard, Firefox, etc.). It takes up the VPN slot so be aware of that.
- PCAPdroid: no-root Android app to monitor, inspect and block the connections made by the other apps in the device. It can now inspect HTTP and decrypt TLS directly from the app

2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
