Package:libmlpcap-ocaml-dev
Version 0.9-13
I'm trying to read a trace obtained through wireshark.
I use pcap_loop to launch a callback function.
The call function is supposed to look like something similar to this: "let callback_process _ pkt_hdr pcap_payload = ...".
The type of pkt_hdr is PCAP.struct2.
The type of pcap_payload is string.
What is supposed to happen:
The field caplen of pkt_hdr is supposed to contain the number of bytes inside the captured packet. This works perfectly. The packet itself is supposed to be contained inside pcap_payload. The size of pcap_payload is supposed to be equal to caplen and the size of the packet captured.
What happens instead:
The size of pcap_payload is always -1. This means that we can never access to the data inside the packet.
I added an archive to this post with a simple example which show the problem.
To use this code once compiled with the three lines after, simply give a trace name as the first parameter.
ocamlfind ocamlopt -package pcap, -c packet_analyser.ml
ocamlfind ocamlopt -package pcap, -c main.ml
ocamlfind ocamlopt -package pcap, -linkpkg -cclib -lutil -o main packet_analyser.cmx main.cmx
I have no idea of where does this problem comes from.
The installed system is Lenny 5.0.3.

So, I understand, this is not a bug. What is the procedure, to set this bug report as solved or non-relevant ?Closing as requested. Regards, -- Mehdi
