Well here's a start anyway, for capturing requests into Neutron:

$ sudo tshark -i any -d tcp.port==9696,http -f 'tcp port 9696' -V -Y
http | awk -f filter.awk > pcap.txt

where filter.awk is:

--------------cut here---------------
BEGIN {
        disp = 0;
}

/^[A-Z]/ {
        disp = 0;
}

/^Hypertext/ {
        disp = 1;
}

/^Java/ {
        disp = 1;
}

{
        if (disp) print;
}
--------------cut here---------------

But I'm guessing that more developed things already exist....?
