browser header

browser header

[it clown]

Hi All,

I am running iptables with squid. I did a Browser header
test and the test shows the following:

Via: 1.1 pc.domain.net:3128 (squid/2.5.STABLE5), 1.0
netcache2-ctn (NetCache NetApp/5.3.1R2)

Why is it showing my pc's host name? How do i prevent it
from happening?

Do i need to do something in iptables or squid?

If what would someone please help, thanks?

Regards

you're running iptables and squid on a Network Appliance NetCache?  or
is there a NetCache between you and the web server that isn't under your
control?

because it's supposed to.

well--which one handles all your HTTP connections?

never mind...add these to squid.conf:

  header_access Via deny all
  header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all

this assumes that the proxy server that's selling you out is actually
under your control, and not somewhere upstream from you.
