There are several possibilities - in theory. Taken from http.pat:

# this intentionally catches the response from the server
# rather than the request so that other protocols which use
# http (like kazaa) can be caught based on specific http requests
# regardless of the ordering of filters...
# also matches posts

So, if the pattern catches the *server* response, it will be in the 5th
packet of the connection (3 packets handshake, request, response) and
this packet will not pass POSTROUTING. It will pass PREROUTING, as it is
an incoming packet. Thus the best bet is to move your rule accordingly
or simply add it in PREROUTING.

HTH and have a nice time,
