waf_create_xss_match_set: 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 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 get_change_token to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a create_xss_match_set request.
Submit a create_xss_match_set request.
Use get_change_token to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an update_xss_match_set request.
Submit an update_xss_match_set 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.
