whats the HTTP
request header field-name format supported in wireshark?
A field-name in http
request header could be of the following format (see
below)..
when i used any of
the characters like chars like: ; ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
......
other than alpha-num
and "-", i see the HTTP request decoded as "non-http" traffic in
wireshark..i.e. considered as "data".
but my client
request goes thru fine.. i get the web page what i
expected..
These chars are
perfectly valid according to RFC and thats why request go through
fine..?
is it a wireshark
issue?
Snip from
RFC822:
field
= field-name ":" [ field-body ] CRLF
field-name
= 1*<any CHAR, excluding CTLs, SPACE, and
":">
CHAR =
<any ASCII character> ; (
0-177,
0.-127.)
CTL =
<any ASCII
control ; ( 0-
37, 0.-
31.)
character and DEL> ;
( 177,
127.)
