David -
I agree with you that the little-endian representation can be somewhat
confusing; however, as Mark pointed out, it's not likely to ever
change...
I've had my own "struggles" with od's idea of output formats, and have
come up with a few options along the way. Here's some that will help, if
you're looking to get hex characters output in the order you're
expecting:
$ od -toC -tc -tx1 filename
110 124 124 120 012
H T T P \n
48 54 54 50 0a
$ od -tcx1 -w24 filename | sed '/^[0-9]/s/ \( .\)/\1/g';
H T T P \n
48 54 54 50 0a
$ od -txlz filename
48 54 54 50 0a >HTTP.<
