URI substitution with query strings

A WAF rule with the URI Substitution action allows you to rewrite the requested URI and control the query parameters.

Actions: Remove a query string and substitute the URI

For example, proceed as follows to replace the query parameter foo1 and keep foo2 and foo3:

  • ► Select Request as the request method.
  • ► Add the Remove Query String action.
  • ► Enter foo1 as the value.
  • ► Add the URI Substitution action.
  • ► Enter /geheim/(.*) as the search pattern.
  • ► Enter /geheimesuche/$1?foo1=pepe& as the value.

Note

$1 stands for the first captured group of the regular expression. An & at the end appends the remaining query parameters.
