Description

Description

When trying to track network requests, HTTPS calls aren't tracked by net_packet_http (only net_packet_ipv4)

sudo docker run --name tracee -it --rm   --pid=host --cgroupns=host --privileged   -v /etc/os-release:/etc/os-release-host:ro   -v /var/run:/var/run:ro   aquasec/tracee:latest --events net_packet_http_request,net_packet_http_response --output json --scope comm=curl
curl http://www.google.com/ # works
curl https://www.google.com/ # does not work

Output of tracee version:

Tracee version: "v0.19.0"

Output of uname -a:

Linux instance-20240129-1148 5.15.0-200.131.27.1.el8uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Wed Nov 22 18:08:57 PST 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Research direction

Reproduce the supplied Docker command with both HTTP and HTTPS curl requests, then trace the net_packet_http_request and net_packet_http_response event paths alongside net_packet_ipv4. Done means HTTPS requests produce the same request and response events that currently appear for HTTP.
