Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] Are WSP content types the same as HTTP content types?
Please ignore previous patch (my outdated tree didn't have the "media_type"
dissector table). Fixed in attached patch.
Regards and sorry,

|
| Yes, they are. WSP is a "over-the-air optimization" for HTTP/1.1.
|
| | If so, the WSP dissector could just get the Internet media type
| | dissector table (which used to be the HTTP content type
| | dissector table)
| | by calling
| |
| | find_dissector_table("media_type")
| |
| | in its reg_handoff routine, and use that rather than
| creating its own
| | "wsp.content_type.literal" dissector table.
|
| Agreed. However, there are TWO media dissector tables in WSP:
| - the literally represented media type table (e.g., "text/html")
| - the numerically represented media type table (e.g., 0x01)
|
| We cannot get rid of the "numerical table", as some media
| types are only
| registered in this table.
|
| The patch to packet-mmse.c and packet-wbxml.c is trivial (rename the
| dissector table). For the WSP dissector, we also need to
| refer to the HTTP
| content type dissector table "http.content_type". Attached
| patch does this.
|
| I tested it by comparing the output of tethereal -V on a
| capture containing
| HTTP, WSP and MMSE before and after applying the patch.
|
| Please review and check in.
