Hide nginx Server Header

The default configuration of nginx will display the server header or version number to your web browser. For security purposes, I do not want to display this information. This can be easily achieved by adding or changing to the following in the http{} directive in your nginx configuration file as below: -

server_tokens off;

Not so hard right? Restart the nginx daemon. To verify it, I would like to advise you to use Mozilla Firefox with Server Spy extension and this will give you what brand of HTTPd server you are visiting to.
