Using a display filter looking like this is no problem:
sip.Call-ID == "[email protected]"
However, if I try to create a color rule with the exact same filter, I get the
following error:
"
Filter names and strings must not use the '@' character. Filter unchanged.
"
It is ./gtk/color_edit_dlg.c preventing this with the following lines of code:
if(strchr(filter_name,'@') || strchr(filter_text,'@')){
simple_dialog(ESD_TYPE_ERROR, ESD_BTN_OK,
"Filter names and strings must not"
" use the '@' character. Filter unchanged.");
g_free(filter_name);
g_free(filter_text);
return;
}
I have removed these lines and recompiled Wireshark, and now it is possible to
successfully use 'sip.Call-ID == "[email protected]"' as a color
filter.
However, those lines of code must have been there for a reason. Is that reason
still valid or can they be removed and be considered a bug fix?
