Hi All,

I want to remove unwanted headers (specially location header) in  http response in IIS 8.5.

I have implemented solution "enableHeaderVersion=false" which is working fine in IIS 7.5 but not working in IIS 8.5.

Please help me to resolve the issue.

Hi,

You can try using IIS url rewrite to remove the header. Please refer to the following rules:

 <outboundRules>
        <!-- This rule changes the domain in the HTTP location header for redirection responses -->
        <rule name="Change Location Header">
            <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_LOCATION" pattern="^http://[^/]+/(.*)" />
            <conditions>
                <add input="{RESPONSE_STATUS}" pattern="^301" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" value=""/>
        </rule>
    </outboundRules>

You can change the rule based on your need. And For more information, please refer to the document:
