There's now a '[+]' box next to the first protocol tree entry of an HTTP
request.  Prior to 0.9.13, there wasn't one; now there is, and if you
use it to open up that line, there's a "Request Method" entry giving the
method (which you can use to filter).

That was done to some other protocols.

For some other protocols, those subfields of a request/response line
were already there, so, instead, we added a protocol tree entry for the
entire line, and put the subfields below it, so that those protocols
work the way the other ones do.
