Re: Quick uricontent question

It's still there, and it'll work for the foreseen future.  We are planning on an enhancement next year that should make 
writing http rules considerably easier.  We'll have a bunch of blog posts about it when it gets closer to release.  

http_uri and uricontent are the same.

As I am reading the info on uricontent, the content is already
normalized...does that mean I don't have to hex anything with

So before Alex jumps in, uricontent is deprecated in favor of 
http_uri as a
content modifier.  That being said, yeah, it still works just like 
threshold
being deprecated.

So you have http_uri and http_raw_uri.  The latter isn't normalised
the former
is.  So:

%3D in http_uri is literally =
%3D in http_raw_uri is literally %3D

As I understand it http_uri is faster than http_raw_uri but I welcome
corrections here.

Check out 3.5.15 http_raw_uri and 3.5.14 http_uri

Thanks,
Nathan

Ah bugger...ok thanks Nathan....crossing out uricontent in yon Snort 
manual :)
