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 an XssMatchSet, which you use to allow, block, or count requests
that contain cross-site scripting attacks in the specified part of web
requests. AWS WAF searches for character sequences that are likely to be
malicious strings.
To create and configure an XssMatchSet
, perform the following steps:
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeToken
parameter of a CreateXssMatchSet
request.
Submit a CreateXssMatchSet
request.
Use GetChangeToken
to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeToken
parameter of an UpdateXssMatchSet request.
Submit an UpdateXssMatchSet request to specify the parts of web
requests in which you want to allow, block, or count cross-site
scripting attacks.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block
HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
