Hi guys.

We have a large number of apache servers with nginx+modsecurity in front as 
reverse proxies. On the apache’s we add “X-Server-Name: <webserver>” to the 
http response header.  This is used to investigate problems, so we can see 
which of the webservers suffer from a potential problem etc. However after 
putting modsecurity/nginx in front of the apaches, this field is now removed 
from the response-header. The modsec log does not say anything about it 
removing it, but if I disable modsec I get the header. So I assume it’s a part 
of modsec, not sure if it’s a part of the owasp crs though.

Here’s the thing; I would like this functionality, but wouldn’t it be cool if I 
could trigger this response-header by adding some “secret” text to my request? 
Like http://webserver.com?SHOWMETHEHEADER would pass this header-field from the 
apache’s response-header all the way back to the client on the other side of 
modsecurity. Problem is, I don’t know how :) Hints are appreciated.

Thank you.
