Note 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. A complex type that contains SizeConstraint objects, which specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect the size of. If a SizeConstraintSet contains more than one SizeConstraint object, a request only needs to match one constraint to be considered a match.
