Ok, here are a couple comments that should help you in the future.
1) Don't use hex unless you have to. It makes the rules unreadable to
the average mortal.
2) URL references are specified without the protocol portion of the
reference. eg => reference:url,www.snort.org
3) As TRACE is the method, don't use uricontent. This only looks for
the uri portion of the request. In this example:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
the uricontent is "/index.html"
4) For personal rules, please use the sid:1000000 and above.
