HTTP is an application-layer protocol, TCP is a transport-layer protocol. You can not necessarily infer semantics of one from the other.
To do what you are after you need to follow the HTTP session and connect that with the TCP streams related to it. There are tools that do this already. One such tool is WIreshark. Try looking at how they do this to get an idea of what you are up against.
