The server_description fleshed this out beyond the control of the admin, but isn't meant for transmission; /** * Get the server banner in a form suitable for sending over the * network, with the level of information controlled by the * ServerTokens directive. * @return The server banner */ AP_DECLARE(const char *) ap_get_server_banner(void); /** * Get the server description in a form suitable for local displays, * status reports, or logging. This includes the detailed server * version and information about some modules. It is not affected * by the ServerTokens directive. * @return The server description */ AP_DECLARE(const char *) ap_get_server_description(void); But you are better off looking at; http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/ServerUtil.html#C_get_server_version_ which returns nothing except exactly what you are asking.
