I am trying to capture the HTTP protocol (http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-la...), but unfortunately, I can not capture HTTP. I am using Wi-Fi: en0. Also, I contacted support from Apple, and they told me that the issue must be solved for the people of Wireshark. Please let me know what is the best solution.

I am trying to capture the HTTP protocol (http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-la...), but unfortunately, I can not capture HTTP.

Please note that HTTP can run either directly over TCP or can run over TLS; the latter is sometimes called "https", because the "https" URL scheme is used for HTTP-over-TLS.

If it's HTTP-over-TLS, Wireshark can capture it, but can't dissect it without having enough information to decrypt it. See the "TLS" page in the Wireshark Wiki..

When I browsed that URL in a new "private" window I got the full HTTP transaction, no sign of HTTPS at all. IMO it's an issue with the OP's capture setup.

Hello, I did other tests. I used a MacBook Air M1 2020 with OS Ventura 13.0.1. and with Wireshark 4.2.5 I had positive results the first time because I captured the HTTP protocol (http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-la... ) with Wi-Fi: en0. Later, I cleaned the cache memory and tried to repeat the process, but I can not capture the HTTP protocol. What other conclusion could be?

Later, I cleaned the cache memory

What cache memory is that? Do you mean you cleaned your browser's cache?

Yes it is, I cleaned my browser's cache in Google Chrome.
