Hello,

I compiled wireshark 3.3.xdev build with all the zstandard, brotli and
snappy  devel libs, but when I go to use wireshark to read/open a
zstd/brotli compressed file like a gzip compressed file. I get the
error message below:-

09:51:30.868     Main Warn 0 duplicates of "The file
"eth7_catch-all_20190701-0062.pcap.zst" isn't a capture file in a format
Wireshark understands." were suppressed
10:26:35.078     Main Warn 0 duplicates of "The file "forkem.pcap.br"
isn't a capture file in a format Wireshark understands." were suppressed

I am able to read a compressed pcap.gz file. Is the functionality possible
within wireshark for zst and br extensions, if so where do I enable it.


The zstd or brotli support is for some specific protocols using those
compression schemes, not for capture files.

Best regards,
Pascal.


Cheers,

Kem
