Thanks.  I can't be sure if they're related.  My alarms come from packets
with lines and lines of gibberish, with an occasional /.  I was first
curious because I've got identical gibberish from differant hosts on
differant networks in the last few hours.  If anyone is interested in the
packet payload I can send offlist.

Read this, and see if this is the traffic you are seeing

This is what is generating alot of the OVERSIZED REQUEST-URI events for me 
right now.

List,

Do any of you know off-hand a good place to get information on the 
alerts
that aren't documented, such as OVERSIZE REQUEST-URI DIRECTORY, etc.  I
Googled away and did not find anything comprehensive.

That particular alert is not a rule, but is generated by the http_inspect
preprocessor. (gen_id 1)

You should look at docs/README.http_inspect.
