Hi,

As part of the security audit, I have set server_tokens off;
in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. Is there a way to hide Server: nginx,
X-Powered-By and X-Generator?

To hide the below HTTP headers

Server: nginx
> X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.34
> X-Generator: Drupal 8 (https://www.drupal.org)


curl -i -H Host:_ https://mydomain.com

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
*Server: nginx*
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
*X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.34*
Cache-Control: max-age=21600, public
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 00:23:38 GMT
X-Drupal-Dynamic-Cache: MISS
