Problem with content option

[Mark Greenman <mark.greenman.014 () gmail com>]

Hi. I am trying to use "content" option to detect some text in a webpage
body. It is a simple webpage and it is all transmitted in one TCP segment.
I have no idea why it can not be detected by snort. The problem is that the
content in the HTTP header can be detected but the content of HTTP body can
not. I have attached the snort local.rules file, snort config file and a
pcap file for the transmitted traffic by the email. Could you please help
me understand why it can not work.

Here is the part for http_inspect configuration in the snort config file:
preprocessor http_inspect: global iis_unicode_map unicode.map 1252
compress_depth 65535 decompress_depth 65535
preprocessor http_inspect_server: server default \

Is there a problem with this part?

Thanks
