Title: Capture filter for all HTTP/S based traffic

Hi,

I am looking for some assistance with the Ethereal app.  I am running it on a service which handles multiple data streams.  I am only interested in filtering HTTP based traffic but cannot provide a valid filter for this option.

I have tried filters such as the following, however all return a "Invalid capture filter" error message.

http.request.method == "POST"
http contains "xxxxxx.com"
http contains xxxxxx.com
http.request contains "xxxxxx.com"
http.request "xxxxx"
http.request xxxxx

Ideally I would like to configure Ethereal to provide me with a list of all HTTP requests with the destination DNS/URL. 

Does anyone have experience in doing this?

Regards,
Adam
