You could use the exported pdu format
See exported_pdu.h in epan directory. Should you need new tags for meta
information those could be added.

I’m now writing a dissector for the resulting pcap-ng file.  The problem is
that the number and meaning of the “columns” in the log is not predictable
– it depends on the web log format settings.  Therefore the first entry in
the pcap-ng file contains the name of the field, a definition of the data
type and the column position.  In the dissector, I read this first record
and then set up an hf_register_info array.  That’s the background, now my
question.
