  Decoding HTTP Traffic
Max Chunk Encoding Size
Detects abnormally large chunk sizes in URI data. 
You can enable rules 119:16 and 119:22 to generate events for this option. Se
 for more information.
Disable Pipeline Decoding
Disables HTTP decoding for pipelined requests. When this option is disabled, performance is 
enhanced because HTTP requests waiting in the pipeline are not decoded or analyzed, and are only 
inspected using generic pattern matching.
Non-Strict URI Parsing
Enables non-strict URI parsing. Use this option only on servers that will accept non-standard URIs 
in the format "GET /index.html abc xo qr \n". Using this option, the decoder assumes that the URI 
is between the first and second space, even if there is no valid HTTP identifier after the second space.
Extended ASCII Encoding
Enables parsing of extended ASCII characters in an HTTP request URI. Note that this option is 
available in custom server profiles only, and not in the default profiles provided for Apache, IIS, or 
all servers.
