(It will be called with each packet in turn initially, but will then be called again for each packet the user clicks on). So if there's more than one request in the conversation, you need to make sure that you are cross-referencing to the right one when dissecting responses.
thanks for chiming in! As a long time user of the AFP dissector I know that it handles multiple conversations right. ;) It's just the first time that I start to make substantial enhancements to the dissector. Alas, I picked a tough target for a starter: AFP is completely documented by Apple besided one singel AFP call FPSpotlightRPC. So I've got to reverse engineer it which turns out to be a tough task ask the packets are complicated. Cheers, Frank! ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
