Description

I was trying out the new response/request header feature ( https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/3639 - many thanks for the contribution !) for login and noticed the following

Using latest master as of the time of posting this issue:

suricata -V
This is Suricata version 5.0.0-dev (rev 6c0ec0b2)

Default in yaml

            # set this value to one among {both, request, response} to dump all
            # http headers for every http request and/or response
            # dump-all-headers: [both, request, response]

Given the default setting above in yaml a user may just try to adjust the dump-all-headers and use only "both" or "request, response" inside the []. In those cases the logging of the response/request headers will not work as intended (at least in my tests). See bellow:

Does not work

            # set this value to one among {both, request, response} to dump all
            # http headers for every http request and/or response
            dump-all-headers: [request, response]

Does not work

            # set this value to one among {both, request, response} to dump all
            # http headers for every http request and/or response
            dump-all-headers: [both]

Does not work

            # set this value to one among {both, request, response} to dump all
            # http headers for every http request and/or response
            dump-all-headers: "response, request"

Works

            # set this value to one among {both, request, response} to dump all
            # http headers for every http request and/or response
            dump-all-headers: "both"

Thanks Andreas for the pointer.

The code responsible for this is

        const char *all_headers = ConfNodeLookupChildValue(
                conf, "dump-all-headers");
        if (all_headers != NULL) {
            if (strcmp(all_headers, "both") == 0) {
                http_ctx->flags |= LOG_HTTP_REQ_HEADERS;
                http_ctx->flags |= LOG_HTTP_RES_HEADERS;
            } else if (strcmp(all_headers, "request") == 0) {
                http_ctx->flags |= LOG_HTTP_REQ_HEADERS;
            } else if (strcmp(all_headers, "response") == 0) {
                http_ctx->flags |= LOG_HTTP_RES_HEADERS;
            }
        }
