Really, HTTP/1.0 connection ?

You'll need to write a script to perform the calculations and joining for
you. 

Personally, from the above output, I think that would be quite easy, but
not entirely correct because I reckon you'll have to ignore the source
ports, or at least have some match going on, to determine that if your
start and end source ports are close enough, then they are part of the same
connection, if everything else (src, dst IP && dst port) are the same. [*]

[*] -- This of course also depends on the fact that you don't have any
       kernel patches (grsecurity comes to mind) which performs automatic
       randomization of the source port (ala OpenBSD).
