[Snort-sigs] FP in 1233 and 2435: possible general prob. w. content chec

Subject: [Snort-sigs] FP in 1233 and 2435: possible general prob. w. content checks for filename?

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS

These two rules are firing on hotmail sessions when a
gif file is loaded:

2435
GET /i.p.emfemale.gif HTTP/1.1.

1233
GET /i.p.emlips.gif HTTP/1.1..

So could we generalize and say any HTTP rules that
check file extensions should check for a trailing
space? ".eml " rather than ".eml" Would a webserver
correctly parse GET /problem.emlHTTP/1.1  ? 

Also - are we worried about web clients accessing .eml
/.emf on web servers?  Seems to me that the attacks
are flowing from hostile websites to hapless browsers
and we should be looking at flow:to_client instead.
