Question

When running a CherryPy app it will send server name tag something like CherryPy/version. Is it possible to rename/overwrite that from the app without modifying CherryPy so it will show something else?

Maybe something like MyAppName/version (CherryPy/version)

Actually asking on IRC on their official channel fumanchu gived me a more clean way to do this (using latest svn):

import cherrypy from cherrypy import _cpwsgi_server  class HelloWorld(object):     def index(self):         return 'Hello World!'     index.exposed = True  serverTag = 'MyApp/%s (CherryPy/%s)' % ('1.2.3', cherrypy.__version__) _cpwsgi_server.CPWSGIServer.environ['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] = serverTag cherrypy.config.update({'tools.response_headers.on': True,                         'tools.response_headers.headers': [('Server', serverTag)]}) cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())
