Re: [Ethereal-users] Line-based text data: text/html is truncated

Hi Jonah,

 

The reason for truncation is the graphical user interface. Ethereal uses specific widgets, and they require a label. These labels have been given a maximum length.

 

If you export as text, then you will not have this restriction, as Ethereal then does not use the graphical user interface widgets.

 

Cheers,

 

Olivier

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Line-based text data: text/html is truncated

I'm using Ethereal to capture HTML pages.  For example, if I load the Google home page in IE, I can see the HTML in the "Line-based text data: text/html" caputure in Ethereal.  However, any lines that do not have a carriage return before about 250 characters are truncated around the 250th character.

 

I believe in version 0.10.10 there was a way to export this data to a file in a form that was not truncated (by right clicking on the Line-based text data: text/html" statement).  However, this option is not shown in 0.10.12 and the only method I can find to export is the "Print" method.  The resulting output is also truncated.

 

Can someone please advise on how to eliminate this truncation?

 

This seems like such a common need that it would be in a FAQ or discussed in the mailing list archives.  Unfortunately, I do not see a way to search the archives.  There is only an interface to browse them by month (is there a reason for this?).

 

Thank you in advance!

Jonah
