Hi,

I see no problem here. It loads fine in Wireshark 1.4.1.

What I do see, and which is a bug in Wireshark, is that it doesn't treat it
as multipart/mixed, as stated in RFC 2046, Section 5.1.3:

   Any "multipart" subtypes that an implementation does not recognize
   must be treated as being of subtype "mixed".


Indeed (and I'll see if I can fix that), but I've actually also specifically
added multipart/encrypted to packet-multipart (and registered gssapi in
multipart_media_type table and in media_type table so it'll recognize it
specifically) - bu I still get the exception (because of the missing
CR-LF-CR-LF expected?). RFC 1847, section 2.2 seems to show an example -
with double CRLF.

TIA,
Y.

Thanks,
Jaap

I'm trying to add dissection of Kerberos encrypted HTTP sessions.
Mostly, it's OK (got the headers parsed correctly, would file a BZ for this
patch soon).
However, when I'm trying to work with the body, which is a MIME multipart,
it fails with exception.
The reason seems to be that it does not have the double CRLF which is
expected between headers and body of a MIME (?):
imf_find_field_end() seems to fail to find additional CRLF - before the
binary data (which is actually a Kerberos blob) appears.

Attached please find a small capture showing the problem - not sure who's
fault it is - or if it's fixable somehow in Wireshark.
See packet 8 (dissect as HTTP please).

Regards,
Y.
