Thank you both for the replies.

I have used mod_security in the past, but concerned it would be
missimplemented.

1/ Do you think that AddServerHeader directive will ever be added to the
core Apache ?

???

2/ would someone reading the "module writing" tutorials be able to create a
module to modify or remove the server header or would this be one of the
more challenging module to write ?

It needs to be removed in a filter that sits right under the HTTP header filter, and it has to be sensitive to basic HTTP response format and remove the Server header while the headers are being passed down and get out of the way afterwards. As such, it is a relatively simple filter but requires some understanding that is not required of a lot of other modules.

Here's the general idea:

Thanks again in advance,
