Wireshark decodes HTTP GET requests and e.g. isolates the Request URI.
I often work with GET Requests that have a large number of parameters and the
values of those parameters use special characters that need to be URL encoded.

For the analysis of such UIRs, I have to copy the URI from Wireshark into a
third party tool and split the URI into parameters and UrlDecode the data.

It would be great if Wireshark could already do that for me, e.g. by displaying
the parameters as sub-data of the URI and doing the URL decoding.

Today:

+ Expert Info [...]
  Request Method: GET
  Request URI: /path/to/file.ext?PARAM=value&PARAM2=%25$%C2%A7

Wanted:

+ Expert Info [...]
  Request Method: GET
  + Request URI: /path/to/file.ext?PARAM=value&PARAM2=%25$%C2%A7
     Parameter PARAM: value
     Parameter PARAM2: %$§
