Ummm. wow. When did this come around, what version? I must have missed

Thanks for pointing it out Nigel. I'v got about 200+ rules to go modify.  :)

Not so fast.

I've just done some tests and adding a /U at the end of the pcre seems
to silence/break the rule.

For example, I've got tons of users requesting web pages through a
proxy, like "GET http://www.blah.com";.

pcre:"/http\:\/\/www/";   will nicely match.

However, pcre:"/http\:\/\/www/U"; will not.

Seems that this is written according to manual, yet /U breaks the rule.
Any idea why?

Thanks,
Frank


PS: Matt, do we need to remove /U from Bleeding sigs?
