5.7.8. The "Export Objects" dialog box
This feature scans through HTTP streams in the currently open capture file or running capture and
takes reassembled objects such as HTML documents, image files, executables and anything else that
can be transferred over HTTP and lets you save them to disk. If you have a capture running, this list is
automatically updated every few seconds with any new objects seen. The saved objects can then be opened
with the proper viewer or executed in the case of executables (if it is for the same platform you are running
Wireshark on) without any further work on your part. This feature is not available when using GTK2
versions below 2.4.

Columns:
• Packet num: The packet number in which this object was found. In some cases, there can be multiple
objects in the same packet.
• Hostname: The hostname of the server that sent the object as a response to an HTTP request.
• Content Type: The HTTP content type of this object.
• Bytes: The size of this object in bytes.
• Filename: The final part of the URI (after the last slash). This is typically a filename, but may be a
long complex looking string, which typically indicates that the file was received in response to a HTTP
POST request.
