A gzipped pcap file might be extracted into a temporary directory and then be read...

vslee commented 5 years ago

I would enjoy having this feature natively as well since it's cleaner to add reading a gzip stream from within your library than to extract into a temporary directory.

Pcap4J now uses a native method in libpcap to read and parse pcap files, and so we can't use Java's stream without implementing a pcap file parser ourselves, which would be a hard way.
