Qualifiers lessen the chance of false positives by restricting
the locations where the firewall can find a given pattern. In other
words, a signature matches only when the firewall detects the pattern
inside a specific qualifier, which corresponds to a specific context.
For example, you might use the http-method qualifier to specify
that a http-req-uri-path pattern matters when found inside a HTTP
GET method.
FTP command qualifiers can be added
to custom signatures that use FTP-related contexts to limit a match
condition to specific FTP commands.
