tomcatconfigurationresponse-headersserver-name

Changing Tomcat server name in response header, is that possible?

When a http request from a browser is made, typically the server container will send along in the header what server it was.

For tomcat it sends 

   Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1

I know I can overwrite this header, for each request, but there is also the case for websockets and potentially other connections.

So, is there a way to change this at the tomcat configuration level?

Solution

  • I just found this after posting the question:

    Add this to server.xml in tomcat config folder. 

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
                   connectionTimeout="20000"
                   redirectPort="8443"
                   server="MYSERVER"
                />

    seems to work.

    Restart server.
