nginx

I'm having trouble hiding my server header (nginx 1.2.1).

I've google'd it and it seems all I have to do is to set server_tokens off; in nginx.conf. But doing this only removed the version number, but it still shows nginx as the server.

I've seen there's a module called HttpHeadersMoreModule but I don't need all those fancy options. All I want is to hide the header.

How can I manually hide the header completely?

GeoIP and Nginx

I have a nginx with geoip, but it is not working rightly. The issue is the next: Nginx are getting geodata from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HAPROXY_IP'], which have the real client ip. So, the reported geodata belongs to my server ip instead of client ip. Does anybody where… >>> More
