Hi @x1280, what command triggers the error?

[x1280]

pulsar.py -l -p file.pcap

From the urllib.parse.unquote documentation, in

raw = urllib.parse.unquote(m.msg)

m.msg may be either a str or a bytes object. This was changed in version 3.9: "string parameter supports bytes and str objects (previously only str)". Have you tried to update it?

Hello, i have solved the problem, you can turn m.msg into a str object.

attach my code： str01 = m.msg.decode(encoding = "utf-8") raw = urllib.parse.unquote(str01)
