My request-body-limit was set to 0 (unlimited), and response-body-limit was about 3k, and I've set it now to unlimited too.
Also my stream.reassembly.depth is set to unlimited.

Now I'm seeing this in files-json.log :

{ "id": 95268539, "timestamp": "07\/12\/2012-10:01:40.012440", "ipver": 4, "srcip": "10.128.2.35", "dstip": "10.129.23.105", "protocol": 6, "sp": 80, "dp": 53072, "http_uri": "\/test.img", "http_host": "testserver.example.com", "http_referer": "<unknown>", "filename": "\/test.img", "magic": "ASCII text", "state": "UNKNOWN", "stored": true, "size": 88654 }
{ "id": 95268540, "timestamp": "07\/12\/2012-10:01:56.041302", "ipver": 4, "srcip": "10.128.2.35", "dstip": "10.129.23.105", "protocol": 6, "sp": 80, "dp": 53074, "http_uri": "\/test.img", "http_host": "testserver.example.com", "http_referer": "<unknown>", "filename": "\/test.img", "magic": "ASCII text", "state": "UNKNOWN", "stored": true, "size": 88654 }
{ "id": 95268541, "timestamp": "07\/12\/2012-10:01:59.306984", "ipver": 4, "srcip": "10.128.2.35", "dstip": "10.129.23.105", "protocol": 6, "sp": 80, "dp": 53076, "http_uri": "\/test.img", "http_host": "testserver.example.com", "http_referer": "<unknown>", "filename": "\/test.img", "magic": "ASCII text", "state": "UNKNOWN", "stored": true, "size": 88654 }

No MD5, but it says "stored:true".
The file is much bigger, but again truncated.


I can provide my suricata.yaml if needed.
