    Server

    The Server header contains information about the software used by the origin server to handle the request.

    Overly long and detailed Server values should be avoided as they potentially reveal internal implementation details that might make it (slightly) easier for attackers to find and exploit known security holes.

    Header type Response header
    Forbidden header name no

    Syntax

    Server: <product>

    Directives

    <product>
    The name of the software or (sub) product that handles the requests.
