Display XML data is tree view

0

If a packet contains xml data, is it possible for wireshark to get that data and display it in a tree view in the display pane? The dissection information is contained in the xml data.

Yes, there is an XML dissector that can do that. It tries to feed of conversations which apply the proper MIME type, or you can set heuristic parameters in the dissector preferences.

There is a xml dissector in Wiresahrk, that can be invoked if you retrieve the dissector handle with find_dissector("xml") function call. See packet-gadu-gadu.c dissector for example.
