What do you know with "name" ? Do you mean title tags or do you mean hostnames?

As most Web sites these days use https protocol and the HTTP traffic is encrypted this http.post filter will not be of help in this environment. I would suggest you trace (at least) all DNS responses along with all SYN packets from clients. The filter would look something like this (udp.srcport eq 53 or tcp[13] eq 2).

This way you can resolve the destination addresses of the servers using the DNS responses you have in the trace. (You need to enable Edit-Preferences-Name Resolution-Network (ip) addresses)

You can then filter on all client SYN requests to see where they connect to... alt text

Use http.host as a display filter or even better create a column for it.

Just type in the filter field http.host and Apply. In the packet details expand Hypertext Transfer Protocol, right click on Host and Apply as a column.

Or go to Edit - Preferences - User Interface - Columns and add a Custom column with the Field Name http.host
