http can be used as a transport for a variety of things, including p2p
traffic. Filtering on http just filters out traffic (on specific ports)
that use the http protocol as a transport medium. It does not look into
the http traffic to see what kind of objects are transported.
If you want to look at the source-code, you can download the source
tarball from the website and have a look at the files:
- epan/dissectors/packet-http.c
- epan/dissectors/packet-http.h
- epan/req_resp_hdrs.c
- epan/req_resp_hdrs.h
Which take care of (most of the) http processing.
If you don'w want to download the source code, you can find the files
online at:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.py/trunk/
And then browse to the specific files mentioned above.

No worries, there are more non-native English speakers here ;-)
