Aleksander,

If I save the pcap file you sent and follow this procedure:
bittwiste -I http_packet.cap -O http-new.cap -M 147

Open http-new.cap in Wireshark 0.99.6

Edit->Preferences->Protocols,DLT_USER,Edit...
Click on Edit...
Click New
Leave encap at default of User 0 (DLT=147)
payload_proto - ip
header_size - 26 (12 for Ethernet + 12 for extra stuff + 2 for next
protocol field)
header_proto - eth_withoutfcs
trailer_size - leave blank
trailer_proto - leave blank
Click OK
Click OK


Now, the IP part and "below" of the packet decode correctly in
Wireshark.

This doesn't work for you?


BTW - there does appear to be a bug in the DLT_User preferences where
you get gobbledygook - I should probably file a bug...


As to whether this should be automatically decoded I can't say - I would
have to defer to one of the developers.

Hello again guys,

Sorry for the delay. The procedure Sake Block recommended didn't work.
I first thought it was because there was a trailer, so I tried with
trailer sized 1,2,3 and four (see the packet to see why), but this
didn't work.

There seem to be a bug in DLT_USER configuration page, which make
random characters appear in the "payload" field (it seem to me the
characters are coming from the capture, but I am not sure. I attach a
screenshot, can make more if you need it.

I also attached a sample http packet. I found a packet with as much
clear text as possible, tell me if you need more. This particlular
packet was not classified as LLC, but many others were.

Thank you again for your help.


Aleksander
