RE: [Snort-sigs] http_inspect

This would be an awesome function to use, however, it should flag on
HTTP traffic !$HTTP_PORTS  That might be a bit easier to code.

Hi Joel! Thanks for working with me on this.

For others who might be experiencing similar results, the issue is
related to not having a default entry for non-anomalous ports. We're
going to redefine anomalous servers to be specific to certain
network(s), we think this will help curb false alerts. Look for a commit
to HEAD in the Near Future (tm).
