I'm after a network sniffer for Linux  that can be used to
examine packet contents. I'll be using it to monitor HTTP headers. I've
tried 'snoop' and 'tcpdump' but they display packet contents in HEX
('snoop'
does a crappy HEX/ASCII combo) whereas I would like a purely ASCII view
of
the HTTP packet contents for my perusal. I'm after something which has
nice
display format for my purpose (ie. reading ASCII),

Any suggestions?
