Hi,

Can someone please explain to me this comment in
fpdetect.c?

PKT_REBUILT_STREAM packets are re-injected streams. 
This means
    **  that the "packet headers" are completely bogus
and only the 
    **  content matches are important.  So for
PKT_REBUILT_STREAMs, we
    **  don't inspect against no-content OTNs since
these deal with 
    **  packet headers, packet sizes, etc.
    **
    **  NOTE:
    **  This has been changed when evaluating
no-content rules because
    **  it was interfering with the pass->alert
ordering.  We still
    **  need to check no-contents against rebuilt
packets, because of
    **  this problem.  Immediate solution is to have
the detection plugins
    **  bail if the rule should only be inspected
against packets, a.k.a
    **  dsize checks.

Thanks
