Hi Joe!

You can have a look here: https://github.com/tonyrog/eth <https://github.com/tonyrog/eth>

I wrote a cookie state tracker by just inspecting the HTTP/TCP packet traffic.
This is an example program using ’eth’ in src/eth_http_track.erl

Maybe you can find something useful there.

I guess you can estimate the data up/down loaded by calculate sum over packets data length,
(ignoring retransmission etc) and/or check the Content-Length where possible.

I think you may use enet/src/enet_tcp_fsm.erl  to collect the stream, not sure what happens if you
miss a packet or two?
