This ethereal capture file (194078 bytes)

      http://www.winux.com/ethereal/http.request/trace

contains a conversation between a Netscape browser, a Guidescope proxy,
and a few websites. The proxy is listening on localhost port 8000.

Starting at packet 313 you see that one of the HTTP transactions is on
localhost between the browser, on port 3677, and the proxy, on port 8000.

The interactive stream ripper ("Follow TCP Stream") clearly shows the
HTTP request and response. However, if I use the display filter

        http.request

it's not found.  To wit: 

$ tethereal  -n -r trace tcp.port == 3677 and http.request
$

What's going on here?
