Modify Via Header

Remove or rename HTTP Via headers in origin requests.

How it works

HTTP Via headers inform the server of proxies through which the request travels to reach your origin server. This behavior is on by default if you're using API Acceleration. It's also supported with Ion and Dynamic Site Acceleration. You can add it to the Default Rule and to a child rule using any Match criterion. Modify this behavior's options to control whether to remove or rename the Via header. For example, you can use this behavior to remove headers that impact offload.
