Description

Currently when using http.connection in combination with "to_client" produces the following error

Problem starting Suricata daemon: 7/12/2022 -- 19:57:49 - <Error> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_INVALID_SIGNATURE(39)] - rule 1 mixes keywords with conflicting directions

however, for whatever reason, the connection header is often observed in the HTTP Server Response.

This limitation forces the use of http.header to match on the Connection header instead of using the more specific buffer.

Can you share a pcap / SV test for a connection with connection header in to client direction?

You betcha! Attached is a pcap of a wget to a benign site which exhibits this same behavior.
