This middleware sets or removes the X-Powered-By
header on HTTP responses.
X-Powered-By
is a de facto standard that specifies the technology supporting
a web application. This header is used by services that gather metrics about
the web, including Alexa and Netcraft.
$ npm install connect-powered-by
To set the X-Powered-By
header on responses, simply use poweredBy
middleware
with a technology string.
var poweredBy = require('connect-powered-by');
app.configure(function() {
app.use(poweredBy('Locomotive'));
});
To remove the X-Powered-By
header, use poweredBy
middleware and specify
null
as the technology string. This is useful if you want to remove this
header when it is set unconditionally by your application framework, for example
Express.
var poweredBy = require('connect-powered-by');
app.configure(function() {
app.use(poweredBy(null));
});
$ npm install --dev
$ make test
