modify_​outgoing_​response_​header


Modify, add, remove, or pass along specific response headers going downstream towards the client.

Depending on the type of action you want to perform, specify the corresponding standard header name, or a custom_​header_​name if the standard name is set to OTHER. The header_​value serves as a match condition when the action is DELETE or MODIFY, and the new_​header_​value applies when the action is ADD or MODIFY. Whole-text replacements apply when the action is MODIFY, and substitutions apply when set to REGEX.
