Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 10805] Websocket dissector does not find subdissector corr
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2014 06:36:54 +0000

Comment # 6 on bug 10805 from
I am trying to create a dissector above websocket protocol, but websocket
didn't pass payload to my dissector each time. my protocol is running on port
32123, each time websocket dissector is called pinfo->match_uint = 6, so my
dissector never called.

I guess here pinfo->match_uint could be used only if "we.port" is defined in
websocket dissector, but I didn't find it.

handle = dissector_get_uint_handle(port_subdissector_table,
pinfo->match_uint);
