How to see full HTTPS URL in wireShark

Question

I did enough research and failed to find a conclusive answer(version 1.12.7).

My local server is making a get call to https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/12345.json when I see this packet in wireshark I see the destination URL as hacker-news.firebaseio.com. My ask is simple

1) how can I see the entire URI including /v0/item/12345.json part.

2) Why are somany dots in the following TCP stream and what does this TCP stream actually trying to say with jabbered English letters.

Answer 1

The problem is that you are using https. That means that the only informations that you have directly are the peer address and the ports used. All exchanged data is encrypted, including the request itself that should be GET /v0/item/12345.json

TL/DR: you cannot. That is one of the goals of the https protocol: wireshark acts as a man in the middle and https protects your privacy.
