Re: problem in pseudo header

Raman,

Good question!! I had posted a similar problem sometime back.
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200605/msg00149.html

After reading your question I just realized that the pseudo_header has to be
re-populated all over again in the seek_read function. I was not doing it.
Thanks for your question, I might have found just the problem I have been
struggling with for last 2 weeks.

thanks,
Ravi.
