Comment # 6
on bug 8287
from Dirk
Wireshark doesn't currently offer a double linked list with the seasonal memory
allocator. Also notice that the allocation in push_req() is using a se_alloc(),
so the memory is freed.
Only if your HTTP conversation would use a lot of requests/responses will the
realloc in push_req() be done often and thus waste memory. But I expect the
majority of HTTP connections only use a single request/response or a few. Since
my array approach doesn't need to use two pointers per entry for the linked
list with a small number of requests/responses it will use less memory. At some
point the linked list will be more memory efficient, but I don't expect this to
happen for the usual capture file.
