This is AWS WAF Classic documentation¶
Description¶
This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.
For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.
Creates a RegexMatchSet. You then use update_regex_match_set
to
identify the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect,
such as the values of the User-Agent
header or the query string. For
example, you can create a RegexMatchSet
that contains a
RegexMatchTuple
that looks for any requests with User-Agent
headers
that match a RegexPatternSet
with pattern B[a@]dB[o0]t
. You can then
configure AWS WAF to reject those requests.
To create and configure a RegexMatchSet
, perform the following steps:
-
Use
get_change_token
to get the change token that you provide in theChangeToken
parameter of acreate_regex_match_set
request. -
Submit a
create_regex_match_set
request. -
Use
get_change_token
to get the change token that you provide in theChangeToken
parameter of anupdate_regex_match_set
request. -
Submit an
update_regex_match_set
request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value, using aRegexPatternSet
, that you want AWS WAF to watch for.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
