Not sure what your ultimate goal here is but give this filter a try as
it only displays the initial GET / HTTP/1.1 request and nothing else...

http.request.uri == "/"

...also other http.request.methods, e.g. POST, will be displayed,

so use
(http.request.method == "GET")&&  (http.request.uri == "/")

Best regards
Joke

Thank you! that is very much what I am looking for. Does wireshark take regex expressions because after using your filter (which gets me about 80% of what I need) I see there are many URLs which look like this, which I would also like:

www.domainname.com/landingpagelink

and the http.request.uri == "/"

will not capture those embedded links because of the trailing "/landingpagelink"

I'm wondering if some regex expression could help here.

Thank you again for the expert advice!
