I am using Wireshark to analyse services that use XML-RPC calls to communicate. Currently the protocol gets dissected as XML which is fine because it is XML. However the result has lots of bloat that makes it hard for me to analyse the protocol built on top of XML-RPC. Can I somehow write a dissector (?) that analyses only the interesting parts of the protocol, and shows its results "on top" of the more generix XML-RPC dissection, as an alternative way of interpreting the same data. Note that being able to add detail into the atomic parts of dissected XML-RPC does not help, as it is the verboseness of XML-RPC that gets in the way.
I mentored a Google Summer of Code student in 2009 who produced stream-oriented XML filter/transform tools, <http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/xmltools/>. Maybe the tools or the corresponding C library will help.
