Title: RE: [Ethereal-users] New Feature

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure I understand your inputs.
attached is a screen capture of the Ethereal window with HTTP traffic.
The window is combine from 3 sub-windows

  • Upper
  • Middle
  • Bottom

On the upper, I can see a list of all HTTP packets
On the middle, I can see information on the select HTTP packet
On the bottom, I can see 0/1 on the select HTTP packet

From the feature explanation, I thought that I'll have a [+] on the upper windows so I'll see all the response under the GET.... The [+] on the middle ([+} Hypertext Transfer Protocol) was there in previous version as well.

There's now a '[+]' box next to the first protocol tree entry of an HTTP request.  Prior to 0.9.13, there wasn't one; now there is, and if you use it to open up that line, there's a "Request Method" entry giving the method (which you can use to filter).

That was done to some other protocols.

For some other protocols, those subfields of a request/response line were already there, so, instead, we added a protocol tree entry for the entire line, and put the subfields below it, so that those protocols work the way the other ones do.
