How to remove X-AspNetMvc-Version from header response without touching source code file (Global.asax.cs)?

Question

I need to disable the X-AspNetMvc-Version from the response header of a large number of applications. The server where the applications are hosted has just the content and config files Global.asax, web.config, app.config for the application and source code files (*.cs) reside with some other team.

I could only find the solution as adding MvcHandler.DisableMvcResponseHeader = true; to Global.asax.cs. Any alternative solution(s) that involves working with any config file(s)?

Answer 1

Set enableVersionHeader to false in your web.config is an alternate, I would prefer the web.config change to a handler solution like you have, obviously, since you will not need to access global.asax.cs to make the change:

just copy this line into the web.config’s <system.web> section:

<httpRuntime enableVersionHeader="false" />
