Cannot get rules as Snort registered user

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy my old oinkcode and paste it in the Pulledpork config-file
2. Try to update Snort rules

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Rules must be updated without any errors. But there is a problem to get rules 
with config:
rule_url=https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/|snortrules-snapshot.tar.gz|<oinkcode>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Version 0.7.0 on one of the latest Ubuntu

Please provide any additional information below.
- It's possible to comment out that line and run Pulledpork script, but link or 
script must be fixed to allow to download rules by Snort registered users

Found out that script is still trying to download rules snapshot nr. 2961, 
which is no more available. Why it's not downloading the newest 2970?

It seems that that downloadable file name depends on the installed Snort 
version - why? Without Snort update rules will never be updated any more by 
Pulledpork?

I had the same problem.

edited the pulledpork config file to 

rule_url=https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/|snortrules-snapshot-2970.tar.gz|<oinkc
ode>

This is just a temporary solution, you will be using rules snapshot 2970 only. 
You could also add Snort version "2.9.7.0" to your pulledpork config file, but 
this is also temporary - with new Snort version this won't get new rules, 2971 
for example. So with every new Snort version we will have to edit pulledpork 
config file manually - not a good strategy to my opinion

You do not have to include the <> characters in the line 

This is the wrong way to do it:
rule_url=https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/|snortrules-snapshot.tar.gz|<1230894719
437235872395487239457242>

This is the right way to do it:
rule_url=https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/|snortrules-snapshot.tar.gz|12308947194
37235872395487239457242

Yes you are right YOU must omit/delete "<"  ">" these symbols!

Using the rule_url without "<" and ">" using the generic 
snortrules-snapshot.tar.gz still is trying to download the 2960 ruleset.

rule_url=https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/|snortrules-snapshot-2972.tar.gz|f5xxxx
xxxxxxxx
Result:
** GET 
https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/snortrules-snapshot-2972.tar.gz.md5/f5xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxx ==> 200 OK (1s)

rule_url=https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/|snortrules-snapshot.tar.gz|f5xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
Result
** GET 
https://www.snort.org/reg-rules/snortrules-snapshot-2960.tar.gz.md5/f5xxxxxxxxxx
xxxx ==> 422 Unprocessable Entity
