Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Peek at HTTP Headers as Subdissector

I have a similar need. What I need to see is the original HTTP request
URL. In our system, the payload of the HTTP response will contain
different message types based on the requested type. Is there a way to
get that info from the subdissector?

Regards,
Chih Wang

No, there isn't.

What information do you need from the HTTP headers?
