LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits
and pieces. The goals of the project, in the order of importance, are as
follows:
1. Completeness of coverage; LibHTP must be able to parse virtually all
traffic that is found in practice.
2. Permissive parsing; LibHTP must never fail to parse a stream that would
be parsed by some other web server.
3. Awareness of evasion techniques; LibHTP must be able to detect and
effectively deal with various evasion techniques, producing, where
practical, identical or practically identical results as the web
server processing the same traffic stream.
4. Performance; The performance must be adequate for the desired tasks.
Completeness and security are often detremental to performance. Our
idea of handling the conflicting requirements is to put the library
user in control, allowing him to choose the most desired library
characteristic.

www/libhtp-suricata: Delete port (no longer required)
security/suricata use to require and use a forked version of libhtp. This
port was originally created for that reason, so as not to conflict with
the concurrently developed and released libhtp. It is no longer required.

www/libhtp-suricata: Copy from devel/libhtp, Update (downgrade) to 0.2.14
Prepare to switch security/suricata to the version of libhtp recommended
by upstream. This also frees devel/libhtp up for an update, which can be
used for the Suricata 2.x branch and onward.
www/libhtp-suricata:
- Update (downgrade) to 0.2.14
- Use the correct and supported libhtp repo from Suricata
- Enable STAGE support
- Update pkg-plist
- Take maintainership
- Remove unnecessary patch (htp_util.c)
- qa: Add CONFLICTS
- qa: Use our AUTOTOOLS framework completely to prepare the build
- qa: Patch htp.pc.in file for proper pkg-config versioning
devel/libhtp:
- Take maintainership
- qa: Add CONFLICTS
