It sounds to me like the user is reporting that an initial HTTP packet with
only "GET /modules-2.2.xml HTTP/1.0" instead of a bunch of headers and the get
request isn't being recognized as HTTP in the protocol column, but instead as a
[TCP segment of a reassembled PDU].

I just tried it for myself and it is true that the initial packet with my GET /
HTTP/1.0 request shows up as just TCP, but there is one more empty TCP packet
that is reassembled with the one with the get request to make a new tab
"Reassembled TCP (18 bytes)" that shows the get request in it.

To the end user - take a look one or more packets further down to find the get
request recognized as HTTP.

It is peculiar though that it is reassembling it with an "empty" TCP segment
(one with no data attached) first, but I do not think that there is a problem
here anyway.
