How to remove Server header with kong response-transformer plugin?

Question

I'm trying to remove the Server header by using the following declarative map in a serverless approach:

plugins:
  - name: response-transformer
    service: my-service
    config:
      remove.headers: Server

but I get:

in 'plugins':
 - in entry 1 of 'plugins':
in 'config':
  in 'remove.headers': unknown field

I also tried to override the value but it just seems that the above configuration has something missing...what am I doing wrong?

I'm experiencing the same issue - did you find a solution? – Awalias Jan 23 '20 at 03:29 — Awalias, Jan 23 '20 at 03:29

The format is like this

- name: response-transformer
    service: my-service
    config:
      remove:
        headers: ["Server","Via"]

This does not remove the "Via" header. – Marco May 08 '20 at 09:07

These headers are injected by Kong post the execution of this plugin, so it won't remove those headers – deadzg_devil Jun 16 '21 at 14:47

@deadzg_devil thank you for this. I've been spinning in circles wondering why the plugin wasn't working. But it was working the entire time it seems – MichaelM Jan 25 '22 at 17:15
can you pls tell me which file should be edited with this ? I'm also facing the same issue – Cjo May 15 '23 at 11:37

The following kong configuration can be used to get rid of the "Via" header:

- name: KONG_HEADERS
  value: "off"

This removes the kong related headers. However, this doesn't seem to remove the "Server" header.

This seems to remove the `Server` header as well – deadzg_devil Jun 16 '21 at 14:50

Based on the type of deployment turn the headers off using KONG_HEADERS: off

You can also selectively remove the headers.
