I think because it would be horridly difficult and tedious to use FPM - you
would need to know the different types of 'bad' HTTP packets you are looking
for and how they manifest at a bit level, e.g.  is 0x3452 8 bytes into the
payload a bad HTTP packet? What about 0xBE32? etc etc etc. How many
different ways could someone tunnel traffic in HTTP? - I bet there's a pile.
If you were using FPM, you'd need to know all the ways to cheat HTTP and
program the FPM match criteria accordingly.

OR, you could just inspect HTTP with ZBF and let the inspection engine worry
about all the different ways HTTP can be abused : )
