Hello Julian, Thanks for the reply.
I have tried a small code with libnids in my ubuntu machine. I have modified the sample code provided by Rafal Wojtczuk in the libnids main page. In that one also, i have tried to print the data part in a file using the callback function and all the data was in binary format. Also, libnids doesn't provide any function to check the data in the payload ( higher OSI layer , possibly application layer for HTTP) I am done with "stripping TCP headers", and i am here with a payload, which contains all the higher level headers and data. I want to strip the higher level data and get only the data.
