CherryPy server name tag

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)

Solution

  • 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())
