http_method and uricontent

[Alan Nala <alannala1972 () yahoo com>]

hello


Running: Version 2.9.2.2 IPv6 GRE (Build 121)


Struggling to answer the questions regarding why I can't get http_method or uricontent sigs to trip.  in my testing I 
am just really trying to flag the detection of part of the URI say "AWS96.jsp?" with uricontent or GET / POST with 
http_method.

here is my testing examples.  I am going to a known website with GET, and URI = "AWS96.jsp?"

alert tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"testing uricontent";  uricontent:"AWS96.jsp?"; nocase; sid:xxxx;)
alert tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"testing http_method"; content:"GET"; http_method; nocase; sid:xxxx;)


Are the http preprocessor turned on default or have to have something configured with them?  I found them in the 
snort.conf, but didn't see anything that I needed to do.

thx
