[users@httpd] How to override Apache default headers?

[Anand Kulkarni <An...@synechron.com>]

Hi,
 
I am using mod_proxy to establish proxy communication between TCP client
and TCP server.
 
When I send request from client to server through Apache as proxy,
Apache adds the following headers automatically:
 
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.56.17:9801
X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.56.17
X-Forwarded-Server:  <http://www.abc.com> www.abc.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: [Specified from client side]
 
How can I ask Apache not to send such headers to the TCP server?

You can't really suppress them.  If you're using mod_proxy_http with
something that doesn't talk HTTP you're probably on the wrong path.
