I"m having some difficulty using Ethereal to decompress gzip compressed http data.  I have both Uncompress entity bodies and Reassemble chunked transfer-encoded bodies checked for the HTTP preferences.  But if I follow a tcp stream with gzip encoded data, it displays the compressed data.  Does Ethereal only do the decompression when it's capturing data?  If so, that would be a real limitation.  I hope I'm missing something obvious.  I'm using version 0.10.6 for Windows.
 
Thanks.
