Depending on the content of the HTTP the packet might be not recognized.

I use the wireshark on linux box and open/save packets into XML format (-T
pdml) into a text file which is then analyzed. After some text parsing I
noticed some packets were not shown correctly. opening it on Windows box with
wireshark 1.0.4 showed the packet correctly but the XML format from linux box
was not.

Attachment traces_new.cap.zip contains the full traces in which is the packet
in question. The packet 24 gets opened with 1.0.4 on windows box but when the
same file I push through: tshark -V -r traces_athens.0.9.cap > traces.xml

the file traces.xml doesn't contain the packet in question correctly dissected.
Hint: search through for POST and you will find the first packet "POST" only
inside the data part of the packet while the second packet (the previous
encapsulated into the GTP) is dissected correctly.

The behavior somehow looks like a bug 1958

I am not sure if these traces help anything but though to report it anyway.
