Re: The best method to extract the subset of HTTP fields from the live traffic

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have tried it once but switched to lua
later. How can I see the full list of HTTP fields supported by
Tfields? Can I extract http body there? Hwo can I parse it?

I was under impression it's not easy to parse "-Tfields" output if the
fields are multiline. This was additional argument in favor of lua - I
can output the data in any format I like (I use JSON as of now).

Hello,

I am trying to extract specififc subset of HTTP fields from the live
stream and I need wireshark experts' advices on the best way to do
this.

It looks like the following options exist:

1) Output packets in pdml format. Extract the fields I need from the
output data.

2) Use lua scripting to extract the data using the lua functions


How many fields are you talking about?

Have you checked out the "-T fields" option to tshark?  For example tshark
-T fields -e http.<field1> -e http.<field2>
