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.

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

  • 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.

Parameters:

Raises:

  • WAFDisallowedNameException –

    The name specified is invalid.

  • WAFInternalErrorException –

    The operation failed because of a system problem, even though the request was valid. Retry your request.

  • WAFInvalidAccountException –

    The operation failed because you tried to create, update, or delete an object by using an invalid account identifier.

  • WAFInvalidOperationException –

    The operation failed because there was nothing to do. For example:

    • You tried to remove a Rule from a WebACL, but the Rule isn't in the specified WebACL.

    • You tried to remove an IP address from an IPSet, but the IP address isn't in the specified IPSet.

    • You tried to remove a ByteMatchTuple from a ByteMatchSet, but the ByteMatchTuple isn't in the specified WebACL.

    • You tried to add a Rule to a WebACL, but the Rule already exists in the specified WebACL.

    • You tried to add a ByteMatchTuple to a ByteMatchSet, but the ByteMatchTuple already exists in the specified WebACL.

  • WAFLimitsExceededException –

    The operation exceeds a resource limit, for example, the maximum number of WebACL objects that you can create for an AWS account. For more information, see Limits in the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

  • WAFNonexistentContainerException –

    The operation failed because you tried to add an object to or delete an object from another object that doesn't exist. For example:

    • You tried to add a Rule to or delete a Rule from a WebACL that doesn't exist.

    • You tried to add a ByteMatchSet to or delete a ByteMatchSet from a Rule that doesn't exist.

    • You tried to add an IP address to or delete an IP address from an IPSet that doesn't exist.

    • You tried to add a ByteMatchTuple to or delete a ByteMatchTuple from a ByteMatchSet that doesn't exist.

  • WAFNonexistentItemException –

    The operation failed because the referenced object doesn't exist.

  • WAFStaleDataException –

    The operation failed because you tried to create, update, or delete an object by using a change token that has already been used.

  • UnknownServiceError –

    The service returned an error code this client does not model.
