Another possibility is that the HTTP/1.1 traffic is not being reassembled. A quick peek at your protocol preferences from within Ethereal will clarify on this...

My guess would be that you are not using a port that's pre configured
for http.  Under the http preferences there's an option to add an
alternate TCP port.
