Hi arvgidwani,

 

 

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but the STREAM::max_matchsize command only seems to be valid in the STREAM_MATCHED command (not in RULE_INIT, CLIENT_ACCEPTED or HTTP_REQUEST). According to the wiki, the STREAM_MATCHED event is triggered when the stream filter matches the expression against the a part of the payload. To be honest, I'm not sure why you'd want to set the buffer size after you've already made a match. It would seem logical to set the buffer size prior to the stream expression being evaluated.

 

 

What is the actual issue you're seeing prior to trying to use the max_matchsize command. Also, what version are you running?
