Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] soap dissector...
It will take time but I am working on an advanced xml dissector that
will use DTDs to interpret the data in the xml as fields.
that is:
<country>
Republic of Ireland
<capital>
Dublin
</capital>
...
</country>
given the right DTD we could filter with:
xml.country == "Republic of Ireland" && xml.country.capital == "Dublin"
I aborted recently the Idea of having a single namespace API for
radius, diameter, xml, and mate
I got to the point where I found that either the API would have to be
too complex to fit them all or the dissectors would become much
complex themselves to use a common Namespace library.
I'm almost done with radius, I think I'll go next xml to then go to diameter.
As for SOAP goes if then we can describe it with a DTD we'll be able
to dissect it.
