remove-response-header

Takes a header out of the answer. Its everyday use is what a service says about itself: its framework, its version, the name of the machine that answered.

Parameters

Example

filters:
  - type: remove-response-header
    args:
      name: X-Powered-By

Notes

Every value under that name goes before the answer reaches the client.

When the value is the problem rather than the header, use rewrite-response-header: removing Server outright tells an attentive reader as much as leaving it.
