| I am really disappointed because 'data matches regexp' filter ends with:
| "(!) data (type=protocol) cannot participate in 'matches' comparison"
| error message.

This is normal as the "matches" operator was only supported in string header
fields.

| part of the frame.

That's the reason why I now added support for protocol entries :) I still
need to check it in. The next Ethereal release will have it, so you can
filter on 'http matches "(?i)gif"' or even 'data metches "whatever"'.
