MIME type for libpcap (tcpdump -w)

[Glen Turner <gdt () gdt id au>]

Hi folks,

I was a bit surprised when I clicked on a libpcap packet capture that it did not automatically 
launch "wireshark -r". I have searched the archive of this mailing list looking for a MIME type and 
found no consensus.

I seek consensus for the following, which I have based on discussions on this subject previously 
which I have found in the mailing list archive. The proposed MIME type meets IETF/IANA requirements.

If a consensus already exists, please let me know what it is, as it is not apparent in the mailing 
list archive.

Thank you, Glen
