Description

Some of the Suricata app-layer parsers require better unittests coverage. For this ticket, the focus are the nom parsers, well-suited for test-driven development, as they can run as standalone units.

If you want to contribute with this ticket, please comment below which unassigned file you want to claim/work with. We'll keep track of available files like so, in this ticket.

The idea is to cover the most important/complex parsers. Some of the files listed already have some coverage but would be benefited if one tested a few more of the key nom parsers (or those which are not laterally tested by being called by other parsers). The files tagged needs tests don't have any unittests at all, as of now.

If you believe any file doesn't require more unit tests, please tell us so, explaining why, so we can mark them as covered.
