RegexMatchTuple
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.
The regular expression pattern that you want AWS WAF to search for in web requests, the location in requests that you want AWS WAF to search, and other settings. Each RegexMatchTuple object contains:
The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as a query string or the value of the
User-Agentheader.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.

Specifies where in a web request to look for the RegexPatternSet.
The RegexPatternSetId for a RegexPatternSet. You use RegexPatternSetId to get information about a RegexPatternSet (see GetRegexPatternSet), update a RegexPatternSet (see UpdateRegexPatternSet), insert a RegexPatternSet into a RegexMatchSet or delete one from a RegexMatchSet (see UpdateRegexMatchSet), and delete an RegexPatternSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteRegexPatternSet).
Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on RegexPatternSet before inspecting a request for a match.
