Binary package hint: wireshark

I ran "sudo tshark -p -i eth0 -R http.request" which prints requests to stdout.

This creates an enormous dump file in /tmp, which eventually used up all the
space on that partition. It didn't give an error, it just stopped logging once
it was full.

It would be nice if it either used a pipe, or rolled over the file every so
often. The command makes no use of packets captured a long time ago.
