I want to see the tcp segments sent from my machine. I started a http POST request and saw only some (10, 20, or even more) reassembled segments displayed as a http continuation line. Of course, I switched off all the reassemble options in the protocol preferences of ip, tcp and http. The segments are surely sent one by one, as I can see from the tcp acks coming back from the server.

If the capture is made on the sender and it does TCP offload or on the receiver and it does TCP offload, then the individual segments are created/rolled up at a level lower than Wireshark captures. To see what's on the wire, the best place to look/capture is in the middle on the wire.

How about disabling the HTTP dissector?
