an option to show unzipped http data.
Or, perhaps, when doing "Follow HTTP session". Yes, that means adding a "Follow HTTP session" menu item, but, as the code that implements "Follow TCP stream" is in the TCP dissection code, and doesn't even know what HTTP *is*, much less how to unzip it, that might make more sense. It might also be possible to interpret more of the session if there's a "Follow" option that understands HTTP. (For example, it might not try to display non-text reply bodies, e.g. images, as if they were blobs of text.)
