Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Only Seeing part of SSL packets

Hi,

We are using tshark to get visibility into our SSL environment. In some case tshark only decrypts the requests but not the responses when run in http protocol. So our parameter looks like this

ssl.keys_list:192.168.15.30,443,http,/home/application/cert.pem

 

if we run tshark with the following command

 

ssl.keys_list:192.168.15.30,443,data,/home/application/cert.pem

 

We can see both the decrypted request and response but in the data format. Why is that it can’t decrypt the response in http protocol but it can in data protocol?

 

I appreciate any insight

 

Al
