How to use WAF positional constraint STARTS_WITH in a URI web request

Question

I created a rule
Type --> Regular,
Field to match --> URI path,
Positional constraint --> STARTS_WITH,
Search string --> "/test"
Action --> allow

I'm trying to test the functionality of the rule as : "curl http://test/apache-server-testing-loadbalancer-123456789.af-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com" but it's saying 
"Could not resolve host: test". please how can i have "/test" at the start of the URL for the functionality test.

below is the actual URI of the resource ----"curl http://apache-server-testing-loadbalancer-123456789.af-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com"

Answer

If you created a rule as you mentioned, you should try like below.

"curl http://apache-server-testing-loadbalancer-123456789.af-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com/test"

apache-server-testing-loadbalancer-123456789.af-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com is host field and "/test" is part of URI.

Thanks
