I suggest that we make HTTP a fallback test, and look to see if the first
four bytes of the packet are

	"GET " or "POST"

That would likely eliminate all of these extra wired ports. Just make sure
that it is checked last.

You would need to do a conversation to keep track of connections that have
been initiated.

I know of a few dozen ports locally that we run HTTP on, but there is no
reason to wire all those into ethereal.
