Another alternative might be to have a heuristic HTTP dissector - it would, of
course, have to mark the entire connection as HTTP, as an HTTP packet can
contain arbitrary random sequences of bytes (PUT/POST request or GET reply
data) and wouldn't be recognizable as HTTP unless we'd already seen something
that looked like an HTTP request or reply earlier i the connection.
