21.7.3 custom rules lost with upgrade - FIXED

[nzkiwi68]

My custom-rules.xml was working fine.

After upgrade, my custom-rules.xml is still present in

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/suricata/metadata/rules/custom-rules.xml but it's no longer appearing in the GUI:

Services > Intrusion Detection > Administration > Download

Interestingly it's still in the policy section.

It looks like the 21.7.3 upgrade to suricata 6.0.3_2 has lost the ability to load custom.xml rules.

Oh no!

My fault. I forgot, you must escape any amersands in the URL for parsing.

Ampersand:

& must be replaced with

&
