On an Apache2.2.9 hosted site, I would like to remove the headers below.
Date Thu, 16 Dec 2010 17:49:45 GMT Server Apache Keep-Alive timeout=15, max=92 Connection Keep-Alive
Let me preempt the discussion on whether or not it it right/legal/nice to remvoe Server and Date: I have read the standard and I still want to do it. The bytes saved are significant (average response size is ~200B).
In my site.conf (last load from apache2.conf) I have tried this with no success:
Header unset Date
Header unset Server
Header unset Connection
Header unset Keep-Alive
Other Header unset directives do work (so mod_headers is loaded).
Have you noticed this bug report ? The inability to unset certain headers is a design issue in Apache. The patch attached contains a way to remove the Server header. Looking at it briefly it seems that lobotomizing the rest of the unwanted default included headers can be done at modules/http/http_filters.c, around line 1000...
