default config, with the following adjustments:

One packet pcap provided privately.
Running Suriacta as follows:
suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -S rulefile.rules -r private.pcap --runmode=single

The following rules have been tried on the packet:

#alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 ";   content:"GET"; http_method; content:"/emailfriend/emailnews.php?id=|5C||22||3C|script|3E|alert(document.cookie)|3C|/script|3E|"; http_uri; uricontent:"/emailfriend/emailnews.php?id=|5C||22||3C|script|3E|alert(document.cookie)|3C|/script|3E|";   reference:url,nikto-scans; sid:8000041; rev:1;)
#the rule above , loads , but there is no alert

#alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 "; content:"GET"; http_method; content:"/emailfriend/emailnews.php?id=\"; http_uri; sid:8000041; rev:1;)
#the above rule loads but there is no alert

#alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 "; content:"GET"; http_method; content:"/emailfriend/emailnews.php?id=|5C|"; http_uri; sid:8000041; rev:1;)
#the above rule loads but there is no alert

#alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 ";   content:"GET"; http_method; content:"|5C 22|"; http_uri; reference:url,nikto-scans; sid:8000041; rev:1;)
# no match, no alert

#alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 ";   content:"GET"; http_method; content:"|5C|"; http_uri; reference:url,nikto-scans; sid:8000041; rev:1;)

#alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 ";   content:"GET"; http_method; content:"<script>"; http_uri; reference:url,nikto-scans; sid:8000041; rev:1;)
#match, alert

alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 ";   content:"GET"; http_method; content:"|22 3C|"; http_uri; reference:url,nikto-scans; sid:8000041; rev:1;)
#matches, alert

as soon as you try to match 

\

(or |5C| ) - it never matches .... anything else - it matches and there is an alert...

In all the runs however it always sees and logs the http request:

01/25/2013-11:19:15.730143 www.net1.bg [**] /emailfriend/emailnews.php?id=\\\x22<script>alert(document.cookie)</script> [**] Mozilla/4.75 (Nikto/2.1.4) (Evasions:None) (Test:000704) [**] 10.0.2.15:58307 -> x.x.x.x:80

Thank you

This appears to be a normalization issue. In HTPCallbackRequestUriNormalizeQuery we get as input:

 0000  69 64 3D 5C 22 3C 73 63  72 69 70 74 3E 61 6C 65   id=\"<sc ript>ale
 0010  72 74 28 64 6F 63 75 6D  65 6E 74 2E 63 6F 6F 6B   rt(docum ent.cook
 0020  69 65 29 3C 2F 73 63 72  69 70 74 3E               ie)</scr ipt>

Which is expected, but then when we're done with it, it has become:
 0000  69 64 3D 2F 22 3C 73 63  72 69 70 74 3E 61 6C 65   id=/"<sc ript>ale
 0010  72 74 28 64 6F 63 75 6D  65 6E 74 2E 63 6F 6F 6B   rt(docum ent.cook
 0020  69 65 29 3C 2F 73 63 72  69 70 74 3E               ie)</scr ipt>

The backslash flipped forward, so become a forward slash (5c -> 3c).

http.log logs the raw uri. Matching on the raw uri also works. This matches:

alert http any any -> any any (msg:"HTTP requests tests - sid 8000041 , pcap - 8000041 ";   content:"GET"; http_method; content:"|5C 22|"; http_raw_uri; reference:url,nikto-scans; sid:10; rev:1;)
