Hi
Here I'm sending a small patch that allows Ethereal to read data from a server. I already tested it with a server that waits an incoming connection and, when a client connects, it send data through the socket.
I added some options to the 'Capture' GUI to specify IP address and port number. The only problem is that I can't get the values from the preferences dialog to work. It will always pick up the default values. Can someone help me please?
Details:
Adds socket related options to capture_opts struct.
Adds code in capture_loop.c to allow reading from a socket, it's mostly adapted from reading from a pipe.
Adds code in capture_dlg.c to allow setting IP and port numbers. This needs improvement.
Once I can figure out how to solve the aforementioned preferences' bug, I'll add some more code to allow Ethereal to send an HTTP GET message to a server, and then read data from the socket.
After that, I will test my changes on Windows, and make the appropriate changes, if necessary.
Best Regards
Javier Acuña
