That is not like the pdml specification ----http://analyzer.polito.it/30alpha/docs/dissectors/PDMLSpec.htm
My output pdml file is the summary of the packet and not describe the detail of
the packet.So I can't get the data info in the packet and can get only the length
of the data in the packet.Is it right?If I want to get the data in packet how can
I to do ??
Thanks..



Strange! You are getting the psml (packet summary markup language) output, not the pdml (packet details markup language) output.

That might be a bug in the Ethereal version you are using. Do you use the latest (0.10.4) version?

With the current CVS (very latest developer) version, this seems to be working fine, I've tried it.
