Hi, I wrote some dissectors using C/C++ in the past. Some of the (proprietary) protocols based on TCP use a protocol negotiation that result in different protocol variants. These variants are incompatible without respecting the protocol variant. For that purpose it was very helpful to identify a conversation in a TCP connection. Unfortunately conversations are not supported yet for LUA dissectors (Bug 15396 <https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15396>). Unfortunately the bug was rated with "low importance". How can I convince the development team to give more attention?
You could offer money. That tends to concentrate the mind? More immediately, you could suggest a possible syntax. A conversation is not necessarily associated with a specific protocol (and they have been used in the 802.11 dissector) we may need a separate conversations object ...
Is there any workaround?
I am unaware of any. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操)(传说杜康是酒的发明者) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
