Try looking at the http_payload_subdissector function in 
epan/dissectors/packet-http.c to see how it calls the tcp sub-dissectors 
based on the destination port number of a "CONNECT <hostname>:<port>" 
request seen in the HTTP part of the conversation.  Specifically look at 
this call:

dissect_tcp_payload(next_tvb, pinfo, 0, tcpinfo->seq, /* 0 = offset */
                    tcpinfo->nxtseq, dissect_as, 
                    pinfo->destport, tree, tree, tcpd);

Let us know if you need further assistance.
