Decode and Display XML

0

I have a custom plugin to dissect packets. The packets have XML payload as data, As such:

'<'data>
          '<'userid> 2 '<'/userid>
          '<'name> bob '<'/name>
'<'/data>

How would I dissect/decode or extract that information to display it as follows in wireshark:

Userid: 2

name: bob

The protocol is not HTTP/XML.

hi XQW1123,

i have the same issue, the xml dissector is displaying the xml file as it is, not in the format i need it to be display.

i think it should use dtds for that purpose but still i am not able to resolve the issue, please tell me if you got your desired output.

thanks

You could send the data to the xml dissector, at leas it would be pretty printed in the GUI.
