"In general strings are not NULL terminated and are encoded using UTF8."
It also says
Authentication
Over the years, the AIM backend has supported several different
methods for authentication. ...
When a client collects the loginId and password for the user it
should not normalize them in any manner. It also should not
prevent the user from entering certain characters as the AIM
name space is constantly changing. For example, currently the
AIM name space is ASCII based, but in the future that may
change. In general, the client should not perform input
checking and instead allow the backend to reject bad values.
which also suggests not assuming ASCII.
So use ENC_UTF_8 in most cases.
For actual messages, it says:
An IM can be encoded in the following different forms:
Name Value Notes
ASCII 0 ANSI ASCII -- ISO 646
UNICODE 2 ISO 10646.USC-2 Unicode
LATIN_1 3 ISO 8859-1
so, if that's the case, the dissector should choose beween
ENC_ASCII|ENC_NA, ENC_UCS_2|ENC_appropriate_ENDIAN, and
ENC_ISO_8859_1|ENC_NA.
Use tvb_get_string_enc() with an encoding rather than tvb_get_string().

1. If there's no character encoding (ENC_ASCII, ...) specified
then use ENC_ASCII.
2. For all but FT_UINT_STRING, always use ENC_NA
(replacing any existing True/1/FALSE/0
/ENC_BIG_ENDIAN/ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN).

In the AgentX dissector, make the "flags" arguments guint8, to match
what's passed in.
In the AIM dissector, use val_to_str() in col_add_str() calls - it gives
the same result if there's a match, and puts a note in the Info column
if there isn't, and is less complicated.
In the AJP13 dissector:
update the URL for the protocol documentation;
add #defines for message types, and use them;
for "enumerated data type" fields, make the fields numerical
rather than strings and give them the value_string tables;
get rid of col_check() calls;
make a Boolean item an FT_BOOLEAN.

ABSOLUTE_TIME_LOCAL or ABSOLUTE_TIME_UTC, indicating whether to display
the date/time in local time or UTC. (int)ABSOLUTE_TIME_LOCAL ==
(int)BASE_NONE, so there's no source or binary compatiblity issue,
although we might want to eliminate BASE_NONE at some point and have the
BASE_ values used with integral types start at 0, so that you can't
specify BASE_NONE for an integral field.

(1) Trailing/leading spaces are removed from 'name's/'blurb's
(2) Duplicate 'blurb's are replaced with NULL
(3) Empty ("") 'blurb's are replaced with NULL
(4) BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0 are used for 'display', 'strings' and 'bitmask' fields
for FT_NONE, FT_BYTES, FT_IPv4, FT_IPv6, FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME, FT_RELATIVE_TIME,
FT_PROTOCOL, FT_STRING and FT_STRINGZ field types
(5) Only allow non-zero value for 'display' if 'bitmask' is non-zero

Decoding SNAC(13,1a) leads to DISSECTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED in proto.c:1006
because of invalid call to proto_tree_add_item() in
dissect_aim_snac_ssi_auth_reply() (@ packet-aim-ssi.c).

Sniffing native ICQ client I've found that SNAC(0x13,09) may contains more than
one buddy to modify. Also in attached patch enhanced decoders for SNACs
0x18-0x1B of family 0x13.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=26355
Decode buddy name and reason message from 'Grant Future Authorization'
SNAC(13,14) and 'Future Authorization Granted' SNAC(13,15) packets.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=25512
as the description - some aim_tlv tables have NULL in the end-of-table
entry.
For those that don't, replace "Unknown" with NULL; "Unknown" is now
redundant.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13084
- Dissect the DC (Direct Connection) info structure
- Dissect the complete buddy icon family (you can now save buddy
icons as .JPG's/.PNG's directly from the capture using the "Export
selected bytes..." option!)
- Add a function that dissects a sequence of TLV's instead of having
while() loops all over the place.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12063
Remove some code duplication from the Oscar dissector (reduces
the number of lines by 500) by providing a custom registration
function for oscar families (aim_init_family). This also fixes
a number of issues with column names.
Add minor updates such as adding support for the Capability Info
TLV on users.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12060
- Support for more generic TLV's
- Support for two more SNAC families: email and sst
- Support for extended status (as used by iChat)
- Use correct TLV in SSI RightsInfo
- Dissect and handle FNAC flags field correctly
svn path=/trunk/; revision=12022
Also move ncp222.py, x11-fields, process-x11-fields.pl,
make-reg-dotc, and make-reg-dotc.py.
Adjust #include lines in files that include packet-*.h
files.
