RFC 2616 doesn't actually state that any response headers *must* be set and there is nothing in the mod_headers docs to say that you *cannot* unset Server, for example... however, if your prescription above *did* work, that would be a trivial way to solve the old "how-do-I-suppress-the-server-header-?" question, which is the second most frequently asked question on this list... I've never seen that solution proposed, so I'd guess it can't be done. Without delving into the code, I'd guess that some of the more standard headers are hard-coded in at a late stage in the processing - after the mod_header filter. If that's the case, and since you have a non-standard app, the simplest thing might be to use the source - hack out the headers you don't like and recompile.
