This feature adds a default set of headers to HTTP responses. The list of headers is customizable, and the Date header is cached to avoid building complex strings on each response.

Usage

fun Application.main() {
  ...
  install(DefaultHeaders)
  ...
}

This will add Date and Server headers to each HTTP response.

Configuration

• header(name, value) will add another header to the list of default headers

fun Application.main() {
  ...
  install(DefaultHeaders) {
    header("X-Developer", "John Doe") // will send this header with each response
  }
  ...
}

• default Server header can be overriden by specifying your custom header:

fun Application.main() {
  ...
  install(DefaultHeaders) {
    header(HttpHeaders.Server, "Konstructor") 
  }
  ...
}

• The default Date header cannot be overridden. If you need to override it, do not install the DefaultHeaders feature and instead intercept the call manually
