[j-nsp] filter to count http requests

[Rubens Kuhl Jr.]

Only HTTP/1.0 requests. HTTP/1.1 can be (and usually are) made by several
requests over a single TCP session.
But measuring HTTP sessions (each one being one or more requests from the
same client) is a good starting point to detect "slashdotting" and
denial-of-service.
