[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-17727) The "Server" HTTP header should return Solr's version

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17727?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17941829#comment-17941829 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-17727:
------------------------------------

Some security audit firms will file a warning for servers on the network that advertise their name and version. Apparently since it gives valuable information to attackers on what vunerabilities it contains. While I think such concerns are more valid for user-facing services than for backend services like Solr, it is something to consider, i.e. by making it configurable.

> Solr doesn't return the "[Server|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Server]" HTTP response header yet but it would be potentially helpful if it did +with Solr's version+.  It would be of potential use by the recipient; perhaps to tweak its interpretation of the response format.  It's hard to know in advance.
