Re: colouring web traffic

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@isi.edu>]

The fid_ of every http connection is set to a unique value, starting from
0. So you can set appropriate colors for different connections (see
tcl/webcache/http-agent.tcl). If you don't want it to start from 0, do the
something like this in your script: 

Http set fid_ 12345

Currently there is no support if you want to distinguish requests from the
same client to different objects.
