Rawbody rules information

[Nigel Marshall <ni...@nige.gotdns.com>]

Hi List,

I am looking to understand more about the raw body rules, and examples 
of them that I could follow to hopefully write a few for myself. Can 
someone point in a good place to start or a good tutorial on this sort 
of thing?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards
Nigel

A rawbody rule is pretty much the same as a body rule. The difference
being that HTML tags are still present, and newlines are present.

That said, do you really need to write a rawbody rule? Are you sure a
body or uri rule won't do instead?

I generally try to avoid writing rawbody rules unless I need to write
something that falls into one of these tow categories:

    1) a examines HTML tags directly (and not just the target of a URI)
    2) examines newline insertion patterns.
