Hello,

I've downloaded the latest SVN-release of Wireshark (0.99.7-SVN-22460) and compiled it.

My problem is this: after capturing packets from my dsl-line I don't see any
HTTP-protocol captures on the capture file, only TCP, DNS, UDP and ICMP.

IF I load that same capture file in Ubuntu's "own" Wireshark-package (0.99.4) I can see the HTTP

protocol -captures and everything is as they should be.

So what am I doing wrong or what is wrong that I can't see the HTTP protocol in

my own compilation of Wireshark?

There was an email on the -dev list recently that said that HTTP is not dissected any more in recent versions of SVN--I don't think anyone has looked at it yet. In other words, it's probably a "bleeding edge" problem.
