You can, if you choose, write code to extract HTTP header information 
from any TCP segment captured by libpcap that contains HTTP header 
information and that was captured with a "snapshot length" long enough 
to contain the header information in question.

Libpcap, however, won't do it for you; you will have to do it yourself.
