So for 3 seconds we have 1529 HTTP GET requests with tcpdump (and that is just GET)

root@suricata:/var/data/regit/log/suricata# date && wc -l http.log
Thu Jan 10 00:14:16 EET 2013
518476 http.log

root@suricata:/var/data/regit/log/suricata# date && wc -l http.log
Thu Jan 10 00:14:19 EET 2013
518489 http.log


and for 3 sec with Suricata we get 13 http logs in http.log on the same 10G/s traffic
root@suricata:/var/data/regit/log/suricata# wc -l gets.txt
3209 gets.txt

my http config part in suriacta.yaml

  # a line based log of HTTP requests (no alerts)
  - http-log:
      enabled: yes
      filename: http.log
      append: yes
      extended: yes     # enable this for extended logging information
      #filetype: regular # 'regular', 'unix_stream' or 'unix_dgram'

just for general info - extended: yes/no - it has no effect on the number of logs written.

I think 1.3.1 didn't have that issue.
