Bug:
I wanted to dissect the data portion of my protocol with the TCP dissector. I
need a handle of the TCP dissector to do this using call_dissector().
The function call "tcp_handle = find_dissector("tcp")" always returns a NULL.
Analysis:
The TCP dissector is not registered by any name, so we cannot get a handle
to it by using find_dissector("tcp"). I registered it with the name “tcp”
by
using register_dissector("tcp", tcp_handle, proto_tcp) in the
proto_register_tcp() function in "epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c".
This seems to work. I am not sure if this is the right way to get a handle /
call the TCP dissector as I had to modify the TCP dissector code; on the other
hand, this may be a bug.
