[BaseHTTPServer/SimpleHTTPServer] Remove "Server:" header

[sebsauvage]

Hello.
I'm using SimpleHTTPServer (work well) but it always sends "Server"
header in response:
"Server: SimpleHTTP/0.6 Python/2.5.1"

How can I remove that ?

I tried:
self.server_version = ""
self.sys_version = ""

but the header is still sent, empty.

I there a way to remove the "Server:" header completely ?

Thanks.

you've got ?self.send_header('Server', self.version_string()) in the
send_response method of the BaseHTTPRequestHandler class in the
BaseHTTPServer module. Long story, short, it's going to be a lot of work
to get rid of.

One can always write a customized RequestHandler, and just copy the
send_response method omiting the offending line. (Ok, you have to check
whether it still works with the next Python release... a warning triggered
by a new sys.version would be enough to remember that)

I see. No choice but to override the method with a copy of the
source :-/
I guess I'll have to do with that.

Thanks.

Another alternative would be to override send_header() and filter out the
'Server' keyword...
