You can, if you choose, write code to extract HTTP header information
from any TCP segment captured by libpcap that contains HTTP header
information and that was captured with a "snapshot length" long enough
to contain the header information in question.

Libpcap, however, won't do it for you; you will have to do it yourself.

[tcpdump-workers] HTTP support in libpcap

2006-10-29 Thread abakash

Hi everybody,
I am new to libpcap and just want to know whether libpcap has got any 
http support in it i.e. whether I can extract http header information 
from any packet.


Thanks,
Abakash
