The Request Selector

Purpose

The Request Selector ensures that vWAF only considers a ruleset for a path if a specific request line has been sent (such as “GET /index.html HTTP/1.0”, for example).

For more information regarding adding and editing Preconditions, see Editing Preconditions.

Recommendations for use

Use the Request Selector if you want to handle different types of requests separately.
