I just checked in some patches on WSP, WTP, WTLS for the proposed changes.
Filtering on a protocol now only requires the lowercase protocol name (wsp,
wtp, wtls).

The Openwave header fields from header code page 'x-up-1' have been renamed:
'openwave' has been replaced with 'x_up_1' (more intuitive).

Additionally, a content-type bug has been fixed (single-byte content-type
token was mapped to "*/*"), and the WBXML dissector now correctly handles
code page switches.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Olivier

| Hi List,
| 
| I'm somehow unhappy with the naming of protocols and protocol 
| fields in the
| WAP dissectors. The WAP Forum mapped a protocol *stack* to a 
| given WDP or
| UDP port. The whole *stack* received a name at IANA (not a 
| single protocol).
| To summarize (top of protocol stack is right):
| 
| Port |   Protocol Stack  | IANA stack name
| 9200 |             < WSP | wap-wsp
| 9201 |       < WTP < WSP | wap-wsp-wtp
| 9202 |  WTLS       < WSP | wap-wsp-s
| 9203 |  WTLS < WTP < WSP | wap-wsp-wtp-s
| 
| I propose to rename the registered *protocol* names from the 
| stack names
| wap-wtls, wap-wsp-wtp and wap-wsp to wtls, wtp and wsp. Additionally,
| "wtls.wsp" field names will be rebaptized to "wtls".
