RE: [Securityfocus-webapp] RE: Removing Apache Banner on IBM WebsphereHTTP Server (Apache) for Windows

What Thiago says,

If you really want to get rid of the Apache part,
have a look in the httpd.h file in the apache source.
You can change it there,

Note that it can break things like mod_ssl if you change
the file.

Cheers

        With this directive you can't remove the "Apache" word.

        All you can do is remove the built-in modules and apache version
from been show.

        You'll allways have a "Server: Apache" header.

        I belive that apache does that to keep beating IIS in the "most used
http server" benchmarks.

        But you can allways hack the code.
