Description

Constantly get this error when running with the full rule-set. It appears as if these sigs trigger this printf on pretty much all web responses. I think that for some tests it will be expected behavior that we won't match as we don't always know the field length maybe we should just convert to a SCLogDebug message? ;-)...

hmmm makes me wonder, maybe flowbits should be checked before anything else if it is not already this way?

If flowbits is check first, then using the given sigs (by will), no DetectBytesMatch statement is printed. But the bug is caused as the function strtoull() makes both "endptr" and "ptr" equals and return 0 as result, when there is no numeric value in the data.
