From: Ryan

MMS

was

MMS
| m-notification-ind, and found that ethereal was unable to dissect
the
| MMS encapsulation of the notification. I'm curious as to why
ethereal
| doesn't see the MMS encapsulation. Here is the format of a PAP
| m-notification-ind over HTTP
Umm... which version of Ethereal do you use? Dissection for multipart
and for encapsulated media types (the PAP push-message XML document
and the MMS packet) are dissected for some time already.
| What do I need to do so ethereal dissects this protocol? I assume I
dont
| need to write an entirely new dissector for the MMS encapsulated
body
| part since one already exists, but how do I hook it in so that it
finds
| it in the body part of the HTTP post?
Maybe you did not enable reassembly in HTTP (or TCP), or the HTTP
Content-Length header is missing, or the multipart is incorrectly
encapsulated.
If you can disclose a sample capture, I will inspect it and provide
you feed-back on the possible issues.
Best regards,
Olivier
