No, I think this is sane behavior. ssl_dissector_add() can be used to inform
the SSL dissector that the protocol can run over SSL. It is just that the
current implementation does unexpected things whenever multiple matches are
available.
I rarely use RSA keys in WS, the SSL keylog file is more convenient (when
available), so the protocol override in the UAT dialog is less useful for me.
As it stands now there are at least three protocols running over SSL on port
443: HTTP, HTTP2 and SPDY. ALPN and HTTP Upgrade partially helps, but wouldn't
it be great if you could override the automatically detected protocol via a
"Decode SSL As" option? ("Overrides the SSL Application Data protocol"). (I
have been thinking about this for a day, rejecting it because it work arounds
an issue in the dissector detection and because it does not scale for multiple
streams, but on the other hand it gives an easy way to override the dissector
set in the UAT dialog or things like SPDY/HTTP2 mixups).
For protocol hints, we could also use the idea described at
