Hi,
my idea when I introduced external structure into asn1_ctx_t and when I implemented dissect_per_external_type() was followng:
- dissect_per/ber_external_type() dissects internal structure of EXTERNAL type and fills in all actx->external structure
- dissect_per/ber_external_type() does not make any decision how to dissec embedded data (they can be decoded in BER, PER or any other non ASN.1 encoding)
- dissect_per/ber_external_type() calls calback function and dissectors decides what to to based on actx->external structure and its local context and any other conditions
The callback for ACSE should be something like this:
static int externat_cb(..) {
char *oid = NULL;
if (actx->external.indirect_ref_present) {
oid = find_oid_by_pres_ctx_id(actx->pinfo, actx->external.indirect_reference);
} else if (actx->external.direct_ref_present) {
oid = actx->external.direct_reference;
}
if (oid)
call_ber_oid_callback(oid, tvb, offset, actx->pinfo, top_tree ? top_tree : tree);
}

The EXTERNAL handling in packet-ber.c does not decode octet-aligned
encoding according to the direct-reference, like acse did (from r22308).
The attached patch will dump a correct TNEF in a X.420
FileTransferData (like before), but I don't have time to dig deeper
into this to determine if this is an appropriate solution. Maybe the
X.420 dissector should decode the actx->external.octet_aligned data
for each bodypart and put them in a top tree node?
Graeme: what do you think?
