when i curl for a url i get this answer back:

> 

\< HTTP/1.1 200 OK  
\< Server: nginx/0.7.65

\< http.custom.headers: {Content-Type=text/plain}  
\< http.request.path: /2/messages/latest.json  
\< http.status: 200  
\< Transfer-Encoding: chunked

i want to remove

\< http.context.path: /1/  
\< jersey.response:  
com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponse@17646d60  
\< http.custom.headers: {Content-Type=text/plain}  
\< http.request.path: /2/messages/latest.json  
\< http.status: 200

so i used the proxy\_hide\_header directive in this way:

```
        location / {
  if ($arg_id) {
    proxy_pass http://authorized;
    break;
  }
    proxy_pass http://anonymous;
    proxy_hide_header http.context.path;
    proxy_hide_header jersey.response;
    proxy_hide_header http.request.path;
    proxy_hide_header http.status ;
}

```

but it doesn’t work. any clue?
