Add --server_name and --no_server_name options #825

[mathiasverhoeven]

Set --server_name to return a different HTTP Server response header than gunicorn/19.6.0.
Set --no_server_name to no longer return the header.

Thanks for the patch. I'm not sure I like the idea to add another option for gunicorn. Maybe just removing the signature is enough? Why would like someone replace the signature of Gunicorn?

[tilgovi]

I'm fine for both options, but the CLI flags should be hyphenated, not snake_case, to be consistent with the existing flags.

[tilgovi]

My mistake. The CLI flags are hyphenated, just not in the documentation.

[tilgovi]

Here and below, is what I am referring to when I talk about hyphenation.

``--server-name STRING``

No?

[mathiasverhoeven]

@benoitc I mainly wanted to add the option to choose between no header, gunicorn and gunicorn/19.6.0. But I agree that just being able to remove the header would address #825.
Would you be ok with just adding --no_server_name?

@tilgovi Thanks I will adjust the docs!

[benoitc]

why are you closjng the issue? has it been solved?

[RKursatV]

It's been 4 years and still no solution? Too bad

[benoitc]

@RKursatV it has been decided to not do it. The version part has been removed from the name. There is another ticket about it.
