Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] no ascii in follow-tcp-stream

If you want to track down https issues, since ethereal does not have an 
ssl plugin yet, I would go for ssldump:

http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump/

If you want the packets decrypted, you need to have the private key and 
the passphrase for the private key.
( Anybody thinking of using ssldump code as a dissector in ethereal? )
