I noticed the same thing as I looked at various other Wireshark IPP captures.
I started to wonder if the right solution might be to register port 631 (IPP)
only for HTTP and let the Content-Type determine the sub-dissector called
(including IPP).
Based on looking at the RFP it seems that IPP is always transported over HTTP.
What do you think ?
I was going to do a bit more research to learn about the CUPs server and how it
works but I haven't yet done so....
One question I have is whether CUPS also normally uses port 631 for non-HTTP
traffic. The original capture attached to this bug suggests that it might.
