Title: Using the SSL rsasnakeoil example

Hi

http://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL shows examples of how the decoding of the payload of SSL packets can occur if the key file is provided.  I've tried to use the example key file on both Windows and Linux (by specifying the file in Preferences -> Protocols -> SSL ->RSA keys list, and it is being ignored.  I don't see an error message (like, 'file not found', or something like that).

I'm using "127.0.0.1:443:Z:\Tools\Wiresharkrsasnakeoil2.key" on my Windows system, but I'm not sure if that is the expected path-to-file format.

And, on Linux, I'm more confident that the file path should work, but the payload decoding just doesn't work, but I don't see any error message.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
