Bug ID: 13218
Summary: extcap: help page configuration mismatch
Product: Wireshark
Version: Git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: Low
Component: Extras
Assignee: bugzilla-ad...@wireshark.org
Reporter: s...@bjorlykke.org
Build Information:
Paste the COMPLETE build information from "Help->About Wireshark", "wireshark
-v", or "tshark -v".

The extcap help page link can be configured in the "extcap" entry when dumping
--extcap-interfaces. This is printed in extcap_print_version() and the output
looks like this:
extcap {version=1.0}{help=http://www.wireshark.org}
interface {value=interface1}{display=Interface ONE}
But in extcap_get_help_for_ifname() the help entry is fetched from the
"interface" entry, which will never be set when using the extcap-base functions
or using code examples from extcap_example.py.
The help button works correct if putting the {help=} in the "interface" entry,
but this is not supported in the extcap-base framework.
Another bug is that the default help page points to this address which does not
exist:
