public void setFieldToMatch(FieldToMatch fieldToMatch)

The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

Parameters:

fieldToMatch - The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

getFieldToMatch

public FieldToMatch getFieldToMatch()

The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

Returns:

The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

withFieldToMatch

public ByteMatchTuple withFieldToMatch(FieldToMatch fieldToMatch)

The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

Parameters:

fieldToMatch - The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

Returns:

Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

setTargetString

public void setTargetString(ByteBuffer targetString)

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. AWS WAF searches for the specified string in the part of web requests that you specified in FieldToMatch. The maximum length of the value is 50 bytes.

Valid values depend on the values that you specified for FieldToMatch:

• HEADER: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the request header that you specified in FieldToMatch, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header.
• METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicates the type of operation specified in the request. CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.
• QUERY_STRING: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character.
• URI: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the part of a URL that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.
• BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

If TargetString includes alphabetic characters A-Z and a-z, note that the value is case sensitive.

If you're using the AWS WAF API

Specify a base64-encoded version of the value. The maximum length of the value before you base64-encode it is 50 bytes.

For example, suppose the value of Type is HEADER and the value of Data is User-Agent. If you want to search the User-Agent header for the value BadBot, you base64-encode BadBot using MIME base64 encoding and include the resulting value, QmFkQm90, in the value of TargetString.

If you're using the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. The SDK automatically base64 encodes the value.

AWS SDK for Java performs a Base64 encoding on this field before sending this request to AWS service by default. Users of the SDK should not perform Base64 encoding on this field.

Warning: ByteBuffers returned by the SDK are mutable. Changes to the content or position of the byte buffer will be seen by all objects that have a reference to this object. It is recommended to call ByteBuffer.duplicate() or ByteBuffer.asReadOnlyBuffer() before using or reading from the buffer. This behavior will be changed in a future major version of the SDK.

Parameters:

targetString - The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. AWS WAF searches for the specified string in the part of web requests that you specified in FieldToMatch. The maximum length of the value is 50 bytes.

Valid values depend on the values that you specified for FieldToMatch:

• HEADER: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the request header that you specified in FieldToMatch, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header.
• METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicates the type of operation specified in the request. CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.
• QUERY_STRING: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character.
• URI: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the part of a URL that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.
• BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection.

getTargetString

public ByteBuffer getTargetString()

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. AWS WAF searches for the specified string in the part of web requests that you specified in FieldToMatch. The maximum length of the value is 50 bytes.

Valid values depend on the values that you specified for FieldToMatch:

• HEADER: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the request header that you specified in FieldToMatch, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header.
• METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicates the type of operation specified in the request. CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.
• QUERY_STRING: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character.

For example, suppose the value of Type is HEADER and the value of Data is User-Agent. If you want to search the User-Agent header for the value BadBot, you base64-encode BadBot using MIME base64 encoding and include the resulting value, QmFkQm90, in the value of TargetString.

If you're using the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. The SDK automatically base64 encodes the value.

ByteBuffers are stateful. Calling their get methods changes their position. We recommend using ByteBuffer.asReadOnlyBuffer() to create a read-only view of the buffer with an independent position, and calling get methods on this rather than directly on the returned ByteBuffer. Doing so will ensure that anyone else using the ByteBuffer will not be affected by changes to the position .

Returns:

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. AWS WAF searches for the specified string in the part of web requests that you specified in FieldToMatch. The maximum length of the value is 50 bytes.

When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system commandline command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

• Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^
• Delete spaces before the following characters: / (
• Replace the following characters with a space: , ;
• Replace multiple spaces with one space
• Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

• \f, formfeed, decimal 12
• \t, tab, decimal 9
• \n, newline, decimal 10
• \r, carriage return, decimal 13
• \v, vertical tab, decimal 11
• non-breaking space, decimal 160

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

• Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "
• Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160
• Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol
• Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >
• Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters
• Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

LOWERCASE

Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).

URL_DECODE

Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.

NONE

Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.
