I.e., you want a mechanism by which Wireshark can have dissectors that aren't implemented as compiled C code.

Your code would be handed a tvbuff containing the payload for your protocol (not the entire frame, just the payload for your protocol). You should then fetch individual values from the protocol, under the control of the parsed XML, using the existing tvb_get_ routines, or perhaps just the proto_tree_add_item() routine. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
