| Hey guys,
|
| I have tried capturing my own http traffic which downloads a gif
file. I
| have "follow tcp stream" and I am able to see the gif file as ASCII
in the
| display window. How will I be able to save that file so that the
ASCII text
| gif becomes a real .gif file viewable by a picture editor such as
Photoshop
| or any other tool?

That's simple. In the dissection tree, click on the "Compuserve GIF"
protocol entry. Then right-click on this item and choose "Export
selected packet bytes..." to write the highlighted bytes to file. This
functionality is available for all data portions of a dissection, as
long as it can be highlighted.

Note that you can search for GIF content with the "image-gif" display
filter expression, and for JPEG images with the "image-jfif" (JFIF
stands for JPEG File Interchange Format) display filter expression.

Best regards,

Olivier
