+HTTP
+----
+
+HTTP transaction details are exposes to Lua scripts with the
+``suricata.http`` library, For example::
+
+  local http = require("suricata.http")
+
+Setup
+^^^^^
+
+If your purpose is to create a logging script, initialize the buffer as:
+
+::
+
+  function init (args)
+     local needs = {}
+     needs["protocol"] = "http"
+     return needs
+  end
+
+If you are going to use the script for rule matching, choose one of
+the available HTTP buffers listed in :ref:`lua-detection` and follow
+the pattern:
+
+::
+
+  function init (args)
+     local needs = {}
+     needs["http.request_line"] = tostring(true)
+     return needs
+  end
+
+Transaction
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+HTTP is transaction based, and the current transaction must be obtained before use::
+
+  local tx, err = http.get_tx()
+  if tx == err then
+      print(err)
+  end
+
+All other functions are methods on the transaction table.
+
+Transaction Methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``request_header()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP request header value by key.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  local ua = tx:request_header("User-Agent")
+  if ua ~= nil then
+        print(ua)
+  end
+
+``response_header()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP response header value by key.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  local content_type = tx:response_header("Content-Type")
+  if content_type ~= nil then
+        print(content_type)
+  end
+
+``request_line``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP request line as a string.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  local http_request_line = tx:request_line();
+  if #http_request_line > 0 then
+      if http_request_line:find("^GET") then
+          print(http_request_line)
+      end
+  end
+
+``response_line``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP response line as a string.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  local http_response_line = tx:response_line();
+  if #http_response_line > 0 then
+        print(http_response_line)
+  end
+
+``request_headers_raw()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the raw HTTP request headers.
+
+Example::
+
+  http_request_headers_raw = tx:request_headers_raw()
+
+  if #http_request_headers_raw > 0 then
+      if http_request_headers_raw:find("User%-Agent: curl") then
+          print(http_request_headers_raw)
+      end
+  end
+
+``response_headers_raw()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the raw HTTP response headers.
+
+Example::
+
+  http_response_headers_raw = tx:response_headers_raw()
+
+  if #http_response_headers_raw > 0 then
+        print(http_response_headers_raw)
+  end
+
+``request_uri_raw()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the raw HTTP request URI.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  http_request_uri_raw = tx:request_uri_raw()
+  print(http_request_uri_raw)
+
+``request_uri_normalized()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the normalized HTTP request URI.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  http_request_uri_normalized = tx:request_uri_normalized()
+  print(http_request_uri_normalized)
+
+``request_headers()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP request headers.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  http_request_headers = tx:request_headers()
+  print(http_request_headers)
+
+``response_headers()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP response headers.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  http_response_headers = tx:response_headers()
+  print(http_response_headers)
+
+``request_body()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP request body.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  http_request_body = tx:request_body()
+  print(http_request_body)
+
+``response_body()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Get the HTTP response body.
+
+Example::
+
+  local tx = http.get_tx()
+  http_response_body = tx:response_body()
+  print(http_response_body)
