How can I capture HTTP on port different from 80?
Capture, or dissect?
You can capture HTTP on a port different from 80 either by using no
capture filter or a capture filter that captures traffic to and from
that port, e.g. "tcp port 6660" if it's port 6660.
Now, if the traffic is on port 6660, Ethereal won't dissect it as HTTP,
but that does *NOT* mean that it's not capturing it!
If you want Ethereal to dissect that traffic as HTTP, and it's not one
of the ports the HTTP dissector knows about, namely ports 80, 3128,
3132, and 8080, as well as ports 11371 (for some protocol called "HKP"
that apparently runs atop HTTP), 3689 (for Apple's HTTP-based Digital
Audio Access Protocol), 1900 (for SSDP, which I think is part of
Universal Plug'n'Play), and some other ports for protocols that use HTTP
such as the Internet Printing Protocol, you will need to be running
Ethereal 0.10.10 (or any future release), and will need to set the
"Alternate TCP Port" protocol for HTTP to the port in question.
