Yes, snort decodes URL's if you have the HTTP inspect preprocessor
enabled.  In any case, those malware alerts are looking for "Host:
<malware_address>", and do not appear to be looking at URL's.  Just the
Host content in the packet, otherwise they would use the uricontent
content checking option.

Does snort automatically decode URL obfuscation? Wouldn't that break
your pcre matching if not?
