Description

Not everyone is interested in having all app layer parsing/inspection modules enabled all the time. In the suricata.yaml configuration file we should give the user the option to disable individual parsers.

Ideas for how this should be done in the configuration file are welcome.

how about

app-layer-modules:
-http
-ftp
-ssh

those module not in this list would not be enabled.

I think I would prefer something like:

app-layer-parsers:
- http
enabled: yes
- ftp
enabled: no

This would allow us to add other options to them...

Thoughts?

This would be fairly easy to implement as we can just disable the parser registration for the disabled protocols.

The above PR does a lot more than provide a feature to enable/disable app layer modules.

We have an update PP proto detection engine, feature to enable proto detection/parser both of which are now separate options in the conf file, ability to specify detection ports in conf file, sig port validation.
