[Ethereal-users] run ethereal capturing *only* HTTP???

["Pete Lucuk" <petel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I am not subscribed on the mailing list so please email me back, thank you. petel@xxxxxxxxxx

 

Can I and how do I run ethereal capturing *only* HTTP packets?

 

I am a doing some HTTP/SOAP/XML development and would KILL to be able to see the HTTP stream going back and forth between my Java servlet and web browser/toolbar at work, doing some heavy duty stuff.

 

But, the Solaris admin on the box will not let me run ethereal cuase I can sniff all the traffic going in and out of the box.  We still use telnet, rlogin, etc. instead of ssh. L

 

Bottom line, is there any way to setup ethereal or tethereal so that non root users only capture HTTP traffic?

 

I am a Java guy and not really a C guy but if there is not a nice way to do it via config., please point in me in the right direction in the C code ( file name and line number??? ) and I will try to figure it out.

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks much!

 

Thanks for all the good work on ethereal, I use it at home often when I bring work home.
