http_uri

The http_uri keyword is a content modifier that restricts the search to the NORMALIZED request URI field . Using a content rule option followed by a http_uri modifier is the same as using a uricontent by itself (see: [*]).

The rule listed in Figure [*] constrains the search for the pattern "EFG" to the NORMALIZED URI.

As this keyword is a modifier to the previous 'content' keyword, there must be a content in the rule before 'http_uri' is specified.
