Hi, all

I’m happy to announce that the v0.10 release of ngx\_headers\_more has  
just landed:

```
http://github.com/agentzh/headers-more-nginx-module/tarball/v0.10

```

This module allows you to add, set, or clear any output or input  
header that you specify. Please see the full documentation for more  
details: [Headers More | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpHeadersMoreModule)

> From this release, the more\_clear\_headers and more\_clear\_input\_headers  
> directives can remove a specified header _completely_.

In earlier releases, clearing out a header usually just clears the  
header’s value, not its key. For instance,

```
 more_clear_headers 'Server';

```

yields

```
Server:

```

in the response headers. Now, it’ll be erased completely.

Non-standard headers like X-Foo can be totally erased as well.

The same change applies to more\_clear\_input\_headers, where we can  
erase an input header in the request object before forwarding it to a  
content handler like “proxy\_pass” or “fastcgi\_pass”.

You’re very welcome to send bug report (if any!) or wishlist to us at
