[Bro] http_request event

[bchen at cs.ucf.edu]

Hi Vern,
   You are right. The machine where Bro is running generated BAD_TCP_Checksum
packets. This is why I didn't see any tcp traffic sent by this machine. Do you
think which part causes this checksum problem: IC card or system driver? This
machine runs Fedora 3. Although it has this problem, I have used it for a long
time without any trouble. It seems Fedora system and Mozilla Firefox browser
ignore this checksum problem.

thank you for your help
