Hello Gerhackett.

After collecting the HTTP payload, you can do something like this.

when HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA {
	set find "https?://.*.jpg"
	set indices [regexp -all -indices -inline $find [HTTP::payload]]
 
	foreach idx $indices {
		set start [ expr { [lindex $idx 0] } ]
		set end [expr { [lindex $idx 1] } ]
		log local0. "[substr [HTTP::payload] $start $end]"
	}
}

Modify the regex properly to match your goal. You can test your regex here:
