 I have some packets witch are compress witz zlib.
 I want to uncompress them.

Take a look at the tvb_uncompress() or tvb_child_uncompress() functions in epan/tvbuff.c. An example of tvb_child_uncompress() is in the HTTP
dissector, epan/dissectors/packet-http.c.

Iam using the tvb_umcompress function now.

Code:
if(compress==67){
    offset2=loh+20;
    compress_tvb=tvb_uncompress(tvb,offset2,tvb_length(tvb));
    add_new_data_source(pinfo,compress_tvb,"Decompressed TVB");
}

But it didnt work ..i get a failer when i get a uncompress packet.

[Malformed Packet:NOS]
[Expert Info (Error/Malformed):Malformed Packet (Exception occurred)]

I guess that means i cant uncompress my packet with that function ?
