Remove Accept-Encoding header

mischa · January 2013

When you are not using compression in an HTTP template but you still want to get rid of the Accept-Encoding header. Or any other header.


when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::header exists "Accept-Encoding"] } {
    HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding"
  }
}

Little more fancy:


when RULE_INIT {
  set ::REMOVEHEADER "Accept-Encoding"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::header exists $::REMOVEHEADER] } {
    HTTP::header remove $::REMOVEHEADER
  }
}
