Hi folks,
I was a bit surprised when I clicked on a libpcap packet capture that it did not automatically
launch "wireshark -r". I have searched the archive of this mailing list looking for a MIME type and
found no consensus.
I seek consensus for the following, which I have based on discussions on this subject previously
which I have found in the mailing list archive. The proposed MIME type meets IETF/IANA requirements.
If a consensus already exists, please let me know what it is, as it is not apparent in the mailing
list archive.
Thank you, Glen
