Unsetting standard response headers?

[Richard epas]

Hi,

I have noticed that Yahoo uses Location: header only for redirect responses and 
thought it may be good to save half of the bandwidth and do the same, as my particular 
script/server is serving redirects mostly.
So my question is how to unset Date:, Server: and Content-Type: response headers?  
mod_headers and 'Header unset' doesn't work for some reason, maybe it is possible to 
use some Perl*Handler?

Who is setting them in the first place?  If they are generated by your
script and you don't set them, Apache will not add them.  You may be
seeing them added for redirects that Apache does for you, like sending
http://yoursite to http://yoursite/.  You can handle those yourself
instead if you want to.

Apache core always sets 'Server' and 'Date' headers.
You can not simply overwrite them - you need patch Apache or use
low-level Apache API.
