Hi guys,

For some reason WireShark doesn't decode gzip'ed http traffic on Windows.

My configuration

   - WireShark 1.8.3
   - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
   - WinPcap 4.1.2

Option "Uncompressed entity bodies" is checked in Preferences / Protocols
/ HTTP.

Here is how my "Follow TCP Stream" dialog looks like:

When I first open this dialog radio-button below is set to "Raw", but when
I click on "ASCII" nothing changes.

Any ideas ?


I posted this question on SO as well:

If you look at the protocol tree under the "Line-based text data" entry
you will see the uncompressed data. The "Follow TCP Stream" dialog just
shows the contents of the TCP payload and doesn't interpret it as HTTP or
gzipped data or anything else. The buttons on the dialog allow you to set
the display format for the stream bytes.

BTW, a better Q&A site to ask Wireshark questions would be
