Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Re: Asn.1 and indefinite length.
I would prefer to move those protocols over to use packet-ber and be
autogenerated.
This would require code to do indefinite length in packet-ber
properly, somehting that is missing but not very hard to do, just time
consuming.
I can not do indefinite length right now for packet-ber so it might
be best in the short term to just modify the
asn.c code instead.
I did previously do a test acse dissector that was autogenerated by
asn2eth but incomplete. so it should definitely be possible to
convert them.
but there would be a lot of work to do so short term.
