postgres protocol dissector plugin for ethereal

Started by Abhijit Menon-Senabout 21 years ago2 messages

This weekend, I decided to teach Ethereal to decode the FE/BE protocol
properly: until now, it could only extract likely-looking strings from
the conversation, which I found woefully inadequate for debugging. I'm
hoping the result will be useful to other people too:

<http://www.oryx.com/ams/packet-pgsql.c&gt;

Copy it to epan/dissectors/ within an Ethereal source tree, and change
the reference to "packet-postgresql.c" in Makefile.common to -pgsql.c,
then configure and build.

(Thanks to Kris Jurka for some testing. I've asked the Ethereal people
if they want to distribute this with Ethereal.)

Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome.

It's in Ethereal CVS now.
