I'm writing some packet reading code that simply prints to stdin the HTTP or NNTP conversations on an internet

I was wondering if I could extract the payload information that shows the packet's contents from the packet without 
worrying about the other headers?

If not.... how can I get the HTTP information from a packet that is sent using TCP/IP over Ethernet?

AFAIK, tcpdump doesn't do this. try Google tcpflow, or ethereal "follow tcp
stream" function.
