Oh sorry, I misinterpreted that. @Thomas: By other words, you want to know something about the destination of your request. To be curious I want to know what the different Connectors are used for? Maybe there's another thing associated with the Connector that is more easy to detect for the application. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Dear Thomas, you may include a filter servlet into the application to modify the response header. A quick search offers e.g. https://gist.github.com/danlangford/3669475 , which states to implement a generic, configurable Response Header Filter. You may compile this servlet independent from an existing application, therefore you may tweak even existing WARs with this.

Add (or use your existing) front-end Apache httpd server, with the mod_headers module ? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_headers.html I searched the provided Valves but there seems to be no support for my requirment. You may want to look at : http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ (I have not checked for your use case, but it does do many things, so maybe that also) (Note : the first suggestion above may look facetious and overkill. But it often happens that an initial simple requirement turns more complex and demanding over time, and one can do so many additional things using an Apache httpd front-end, that you may want to consider it anyway). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
