HTTP Packet Decode

Can i use libpcap api c api to read/decode/understand HTTP packets. Thanks, Gino.

A: 

No. libpcap just captures packets, it's up to you to do something with the data inside the packets.

One very good packet analyzer is Wireshark. Maybe that does something you want.

A: 

Thanks a lot,Thomas... I need a C program for that, is there any api available for decoding that packet or i have to build that from scratch by referring to HTTP's RFC.

and one more question, i think Wireshark does display the contents of the packet. correct me if i am wrong. Gino.
