Getting wireshark/tcpdump to capture all HTTP traffic and not truncate

One issue I saw today was that when running tcpdump to analyse some http traffic it was initially saying that the http traffic was truncated. We fixed this by making sure there was no limit on the slice based on maximum packet size. We did this by using parameter "-s0" e.g.


tcpdump -i eth0 -w outputfile.tcp -s0
