Julio,

Can you post a pcap of the offending traffic (if it contains sensitive
info, post to bugs () snort org) so we can attempt to debug the issue.

Thanks,
Todd

I'm looking at several "BARE BYTE UNICODE ENCODING" alerts, and wondering why 
are triggered, because as far as I understand it, it means there are 
non-ASCII, non percent encoded characters in the request.

However, all the bytes in the payload (at least as shown in BASE, and I don't 
have favorite suspects), are in the sub 0x80 range.

Any ideas about why this is happening? They aren't the only weird alerts I've 
got, but one of the most prevalent.
