how to stop gweb server from returning server info in the header

[NPI_Chris]

Hello all,

Does anyone know how to prevent the GWEB server from returning the server name in the header? it returns LV_HTTP/1.0 by default.  adding "servertokens prod"  does not work.  Is there something that can be added to one of the cfg files, or does anyone know where this is generated in the gweb server, perhaps its possible to edit or filter it inside of the server?

thanks for any help

NPI_Chris-

I have a few questions about your setup and application to assist you with this issue:

1.    What version of LabVIEW are you using?
2.    What version of National Instruments LabVIEW Internet Toolkit?
3.    What operating system?
4.    Why are you trying to prevent the server from returning the server name in the header?  Are you trying to mask the server name (delete it/make it unreadable so the end user can’t see it)?  Is this a privacy issue?
5.    Or, Are you trying to do data manipulation with your header and the name is causing a problem?
6.    Please provide me more information on your end use of your application.

Please reply to this thread with this information and we can get you the solution you need for your application.

Mike,

we are running labview 8.6.1

internet toolkit 6.0.2

two different operating systems xp for development, and our production servers are windows server 2003

we are trying to mask it as it came up as a security issue when our web system underwent security penetration testing

the end use is web based analytical system that trends and forecasts maintenance and premature failures

This is an issue I am not familiar with.  I will contact our R&D department to get a solution for you, and post here with a response.  I understand this is a priority issue for you as it directly relates to the security of your system.  I will convey that message in my communications.

Chris-

Is it possible for you to send me your header file?  I want to see how you are viewing it on your end.  If so, please post your e-mail address so I can send you an e-mail.  Then you can simply reply to it.
