As always, if there'sanything I can do to help get thisinto the main code, please let me know. I know a number of people that arewaiting for it. And thanks again fora mighty handy tool! EdI know it can be frustrating when waiting for something so thanks for your continued patience. If it makes you feel any better, some bugs are over 6 years old. :)Yes, it's a bit frustrating, but I also certainly understand. I wish I had more time to spend on this, too. I have a half-finished documentation section on how to write ASN.1 based dissectors that I'm hoping to finish within the next few weeks and I've been looking over Bill's rewritten tvb_ stuff to see if I can help explain that, too. First I'd have to understand it...
I looked at this patch a bit but as I don't know anything about BER I can't comment on much. I have a few small questions that came up during looking at the patch (not all of them relevant to this patch!): - why is eax.[ch] in epan instead of epan/crypt/? - why do we have files named crypt/crypt-aes.c instead of crypt/aes.c? - is eax.c added to CMakeLists.txt as well? - is this in any way related to RFC 6142? - I don't know anything about BER encoding, but is the existence of the function get_ber_len_size owed to missing infrastructure in Wireshark? Thanks Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
