[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-698) HTTP vs MIME events

[Jon Siwek (JIRA)]

     [ https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-698?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jon Siwek updated BIT-698:
--------------------------
    Description: 
The way the {{mime_}} and {{http_entity_}} events are structure is a mess:

- First, I think we should have only a single set of events for all MIME data.

- the {{mime_}} events don't come with {{is_orig}}.

- {{http_header}} vs. {{mime_one_header}}

- {{http_entity_data}} delivers segments of size {{http_entity_data_delivery_size}} while {{mime_entity_data}} delivers complete entities (and {{mime_segment_data}} delivers segments…)

- There are further inconsistencies I didn't record.
