Description

Inserts or deletes RegexMatchTuple objects (filters) in a RegexMatchSet. For each RegexMatchSetUpdate object, you specify the following values:

Usage

wafregional_update_regex_match_set(RegexMatchSetId, Updates,
  ChangeToken)

Arguments

RegexMatchSetId

[required] The RegexMatchSetId of the RegexMatchSet that you want to update. RegexMatchSetId is returned by CreateRegexMatchSet and by ListRegexMatchSets.

Updates

[required] An array of RegexMatchSetUpdate objects that you want to insert into or delete from a RegexMatchSet. For more information, see RegexMatchTuple.

ChangeToken

[required] The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken.

Request syntax

svc$update_regex_match_set(
  RegexMatchSetId = "string",
  Updates = list(
    list(
      Action = "INSERT"|"DELETE",
      RegexMatchTuple = list(
        FieldToMatch = list(
          Type = "URI"|"QUERY_STRING"|"HEADER"|"METHOD"|"BODY"|"SINGLE_QUERY_ARG"|"ALL_QUERY_ARGS",
          Data = "string"
        ),
        TextTransformation = "NONE"|"COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE"|"HTML_ENTITY_DECODE"|"LOWERCASE"|"CMD_LINE"|"URL_DECODE",
        RegexPatternSetId = "string"
      )
    )
  ),
  ChangeToken = "string"
)

Details

  • Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change a RegexMatchSetUpdate object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.

  • The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspectupdate, such as a query string or the value of the User-Agent header.

  • The identifier of the pattern (a regular expression) that you want AWS WAF to look for. For more information, see RegexPatternSet.

  • Whether to perform any conversions on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before inspecting it for the specified string.

For example, you can create a RegexPatternSet that matches any requests with User-Agent headers that contain the string 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:

  1. Create a RegexMatchSet. For more information, see CreateRegexMatchSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRegexMatchSet request.

  3. Submit an UpdateRegexMatchSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the identifier of the RegexPatternSet that contain the regular expression patters 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.
