configure the setting of the Server header in the Response.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All Websphere Application Server version 5 *
* users *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Enable configuration of the HTTP *
* Server header. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
Add the ability for the user to configure whether a HTTP Server
header is returned in the response and to configure the contents
of the header.
Problem conclusion
The Webcontainer and Http Transport have been updated to add
two new custom properties that will allow the user to configure
the response Server header. One property will allow the user to
suppress the sending of the header as part of the response. The
other property will allow the user to customize the contents of
the header.
These new properties are:
name: ServerHeaderValue
value: "string" (null is ignored)
default: "WebSphere Application Server/x.x" where x.x
represents the Websphere version
purpose: if the header is not already present, this value will
be added to outgoing response messages
name: RemoveServerHeader
value: "true" | "false"
default: false
purpose: if this is true, then any existing Server header will
be removed before the response message is sent out.
This overrides the ServerHeaderValue parameter
These properties should be added as a custom property under the
Webcontainer or the Http Transport. If set at the Webcontainer
level the setting will apply to all the Http Transports in the
Webcontainer. When set at the Http Transport level, the
setting will override the Webcontainer setting.
This fix is targeted for the 5.0.2.13 and 5.1.1.7 service
releases.
