Hide your Lighttpd version

Posted: April 26, 2009 | By: TJ | In Technology | No comments yet

With Lighttpd 1.5 not officially released yet, it might be worthwhile to disclose the version you’re running as spawn-fcgi is still included with the current stable version. One easy way to modify this is to change the server.tag in the lighttpd.conf file. Use the following to keep the version hidden:

server.tag = "lighttpd"

If you use a Firefox extension like Domain Details or Live HTTP Headers, you’ll notice that the version is missing after Lighttpd has been restarted.
