Hi, I used wireshark to capture some traffic between a closed-program and a server. The program request some URL with this format: GET /m_back/page.php?a5bXBpYyBHYW1lcy0mYXBwdmVyc2lvxNzImcm5kdmFsPTEzNDQ4NTM2ODE= HTTP/1.1 Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: My User Agent Accept-Encoding: gzip Looks like the parameter is gzipped, but wireshark can not decoded it. The answer from the server is coded with GZIP and wireshark can decoded it easily, I can see it under tab "uncompress entity body" How can I unzip the passing parameter? It should be a XML-file o JSON-parameter . I have tried coping it to a plain .gz file and using gzip command, but it didn't work. Any idea?

One Answer:
Looks like it's base64 encoded. Likely to be a binary blob. answered 14 Aug '12, 11:45  grahamb ♦ |
Thanks for your ideas.
Now I have processed the data as base64 and it works!
At this web: www.base64decode.org I can decode the parameter.
Thanks!!!
