Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Question

Hi Niel,

First of all, this looks more like a user question, so wireshark-users would be a better list.

But since we're here lets address it anyway. Wireshark tries to read the TCP stream, but finds that the HTTP messages are cut short. That is an option of the capture engine (in order to limit the total capture size, it only stores the first few octets), or there are multiple fragments that aren't put back together.

Thanx,
Jaap
