print_http_requests.py

"""
This example expands on the print_packets example. It checks for HTTP request headers and displays their contents.
NOTE: We are not reconstructing 'flows' so the request (and response if you tried to parse it) will only
      parse correctly if they fit within a single packet. Requests can often fit in a single packet but
      Responses almost never will. For proper reconstruction of flows you may want to look at other projects
      that use DPKT (http://chains.readthedocs.io and others)
