Can't get rid of header X-Powered-By:Express
In Express >= 3.0.0rc5:
app.disable('x-powered-by');Here is a simple middleware that removes the header in earlier versions of Express:
app.use(function (req, res, next) { res.removeHeader("x-powered-by"); next();});
Just to piggy-back on rjack's answer, you could also (optionally) just change (set) the X-powered-by header to something much cooler/custom like this:
app.use(function (req, res, next) { res.header("X-powered-by", "Blood, sweat, and tears") next()})
As of Express v3.0.0rc5, support for disabling the X-Powered-By header is built in:
var express = require('express');var app = express();app.disable('x-powered-by');
