Hello,
Hope this is the right group for this question. As my earlier posts, we developed a packet sniffer. We are interested in listening to http packets and extract its header because we need specific values from it. Just need some advice and clarifications for doing this. How do we know that the web page or a file from the web server was successfully downloaded? Is it by just looking for the 200 OK status? If that is the case, how about web pages that are big, it will have several packets with 200 OKs. What packet should we be looking at? Another thing is if we use the content-length header field to check the file size. How do we actually compute for that(message body) since the packet still contains the headers? Thanks in advance! |
