I'm using Wireshark packet analyzer & when I filter for all "Websocket" packets I see what I am sending /receiving to the host. When I check individual packets mine always show as [MASKED], but you can 'Umask Payload' which shows the data in clear text that looks like this:

<IC sid="52ccc752-6080-4668-8f55-662020d83979" msqid="120l93l9l114l30l104"/>

However, if I 'Follow TCP stream & look at that same packet, the data shows up as encoded in some way like this:

....K#....../...y@..|...}...f...s...~...}...{G..r...kN.."G..z...r...'...'...z...d.

The problem is all Websocket packets I receive from the host come as encoded, it is NOT SSL & I can't figure out how to decode them, I have no idea what they are even encoded as (but yet my browser can decode it).

I assume that whatever method they are coming back to me as encoded data is the same method that my data is encoded when I use 'Follow TCP stream'.

Can someone please help me figure out how to decode the data the host is sending me? See host data below
