Tcpdump can do a number of things - it can capture traffic and dissect and print it, or it can capture it and save it 
into a pcap file for later analysis with tcpdump or other tools.

Which of those do you want to do?  Run it over a Web interface and watch the display update with a display of dissected 
packets, run it over a Web interface writing to a pcap file and, after you stop the capture, download the pcap file, or 
both?  (The second of those would probably be easier to do than the first of those.)-
This is the tcpdump-workers list.
