While the URL http://www.yahoo.com/foo.html, your packet will look
something like this:

    GET /foo.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.snort.org\r\n\r\n

You need to write your rule to look something like this:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 80 (msg:"yahoo.com"; 
    content:"Host|3a|"; nocase; pcre:"/^Host:\x3a.*yahoo.com/mi";)
