just took a look at these:

ngrep is a pure transport layer filter
dsniff is a pure sniffing tool without ability to save http contents
driftnet is pretty cool. it does just what i want, but supports only soo few
file formats.

what did you mean by IIRC? i know it only as a irc client.

as i said driftnet is almost what i want. but why does the logging software
have to have knowledge about the file format? arent binaries transportet
over http just mime encoded and thats it? cant it just decode it back to
binaries and save the mime type as part of the filename? i know that e.g.
ethereal is capable of restoring the binary data stream out of a tcp
connection. isnt there a similar tool that can restore files transportet
over http and save them along with their mime type? or is there something
for ftp transfers?

thx
