One Answer:

you can do that with Wireshark, but it would require a lot of manual work. If you need that feature, you could implement it yourself (and donate to code to the project) or file an enhancement bug at https://bugs.wireshark.org and hope someone likes it and implements it for you.

Alternatively you can use a tool that is able to do that right now, like Xplico.

I know there are many other tools can do that, but I'm just trying to use wireshark to do that. Now I can either reconstruct the html page without images or get the image from the page by using the method File - Export object - HTTP - save the target webpage or image

But I cannot reconstruct the completed one (the page with text and images). Do you have any suggestion?

Extract the HTML code
Extract the images
Save everything in a local directory
Edit the saved HTML code to change the path of the images to your local directory
open the page with a browser

If the page does not look "right", there is something missing, like CSS, Javascript, etc. Repeat the steps for the missing parts.

As I said: You can do that with Wireshark, but it would require a lot of manual work.

@Wiresharker "Now I can either reconstruct the html page without images" - How did you do that? Can you guide me a bit about how you reconstructed the HTML page?
