Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Call XML and JSON dissectors with new HTTP Content-Type

Hi all,

Web Integration Service (http://www.omg.org/spec/DDS-WEB/1.0/Beta2/) is a new service that sends/receives DDS traffic (RTPS) over HTTP. The serialization is not directly RTPS but a conversion handled internally, that can be XML or JSON.

I would like to add support to show the content of the HTTP packets as it is done for XML. The Content-Type is "application/dds-web+xml". If I change it to "application/xml" internally, it works sweet.

How can I make Wireshark apply the XML dissector when receiving "application/dds-web+xml"? I have been inspecting the code but I want some advice since this is an important dissector.

You probably simply need to add an entry in the default_media_types[] array found at the beginning of epan/dissectors/packet-xml.c file.
 

I will implement this for myself, and once it is stable and I make sure it doesn't change, I will push the changes to the community.

Also, knowing how to implement the equivalent for JSON would be awesome.

 

Does it have a specific Content-Type, like "application/dds-web+json"? If yes, you simply need to add it in proto_reg_handoff_json() function.
