Description

Today Suricata (1.3.1) doesn't reopen the logfiles when doing a logrotate. Since HTTP-logs tend to be huge, it'd be nice if Suricata supported receiving a signal for re-opening log-files. The solution provided in #265 is not a solution for this feature. Logrotating is something that most definitely should be supported without restarting Suricata (and possibly suffering a few minutes of downtime).
