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 the origin. This behavior is on by default if you are using API Acceleration. You can add it to the default rule and to the child rules with any match condition. By modifying the options of this behavior, you can control whether to remove or rename the Via header.
For example, you can use this behavior to remove headers that impact offload.

Requirements and usage details for this behavior are maintained in the API Acceleration documentation.
