The Delete Header option removes a header from the request. This can be used on the client header going to the server, or on the server header going to the client.

The Delete Header option uses a Regex over the whole header and the value of the header. The header will only be deleted if it all matches.

For example, in the screenshot above the Server header is being deleted to hide the web server details from the client. If the header name Server is matched, the header is deleted. If you want to change or delete the value of a header, use the Replace Header rule instead.
