Goal: include reporting that sends information off-device #7

We want to gather data on the reliability of the OS on the underlying hardware, and particularly the storage (based on SD-cards and/or Flash memory).

We are experimenting with using HTTP 'requests' to send data off the device to a designated web-server / web-service / web-log. These messages need to be trackable to a specific device, lightweight, and relatively minimalist in terms of content and structure.

Initial experiments use JSON format messages.

We also need ways to capture and store these requests. Potentially they may be stored within a private network e.g. a test lab environment, or sent to an online service.

Here's Joe's project as a first implementation of the client and server. https://github.com/ISNIT0/piListener contributions are welcome.
