Really hoping a trusted source can publish a windows binary for this?

The build instructions look insane:

http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/net/tools/spdyshark/RE...

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32...

added: okay I decided to stop being lazy and try compiling it myself on win32

Trusted or not, but would you care to publish your build, on bittorrent maybe?

"eee_c: Geez ppl, there is no Wireshark SPDY plugin. It wasn't working 6 months ago and it's not working now. Silly HN."

I can't confirm this, but @eee_c wrote The SPDY Book, I'm inclined to trust him.

Well maybe this will at least result in someone resurrecting it, especially considering there is finally a second browser supporting it (using Firefox 11+spdy with gmail right now) and new server support is in development.

His website has some useful posts too, thanks for mentioning him:

How recently was this updated?

At least when I last tried to use it, it was completely broken

EDIT: No commits in the last 11 months. Probably still broken, as I tried it during DEFCON CTF quals last May

Ah, thanks for sharing that.

Looks like the spec even changed in the past year too

Oh well, maybe the attention will get this updated.

I wonder how Firefox developers are implementing SPDY support without tools like this?
