I look for HTTP to work with a Linux system server monitor tool every protocol. I know, and will not there be it in whom or a freeware?

When, for example, I dump 80/tcp with a packet monitor to be concrete

 # tethereal -i ppp0 port 80 -x
Capturing on ppp0

1244206390.030474 219.111.xx.xx -> 74.125.xx.xx HTTP GET /search?output=js&num=0&dt=1244206414703&client=pub-3031568651010206&q=Cagliari%20Flight&ad=n3&ie=utf8&oe=utf8&channel=0091594208&adtest=off HTTP/1.1

0000  00 04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00   ................

Such output is provided, but there is too much unnecessary information such as an SYN packet or a header. What I want

  1. The IP address of the client and sending out character string(Get; the contents of the POST)
  2. Among the output character string of the server only as for the HTML (Content-Type:) I am what is chisel) of a thing of text/html.

I can set a filter and am the best if only information wanting can accumulate in the log.

  • Please, please, please don't use Ethereal/Tethereal. It's coming up up on four years since we changed the name to Wireshark. A lot of serious bugs have been fixed and major improvements have been made in that time. Mar 16, 2010 at 19:14

tcpflow A TCP Flow Recorder - is really a great tool to debug http the filter syntax is the same as for tcpdump no need to learn another syntax :)

Example curl of google.com:

$ tcpflow -c port 80 and host 74.125.43.103


010.190.001.182.55535-074.125.043.103.00080: GET / HTTP/1.1

You can do the recording w/ tcpdump and later get the stuff you only need via wireshark
