I need to disable the X-AspNetMvc-Version from the response header of a large number of applications. The server where the applications are hosted has just the content and config files Global.asax, web.config, app.config for the application and source code files (*.cs) reside with some other team.
I could only find the solution as adding
MvcHandler.DisableMvcResponseHeader = true;
to Global.asax.cs.
Any alternative solution(s) that involves working with any config file(s)?
Set enableVersionHeader to false in your web.config is an alternate, I would prefer the web.config change to a handler solution like you have, obviously, since you will not need to access global.asax.cs to make the change:
just copy this line into the web.config’s <system.web> section:
<httpRuntime enableVersionHeader="false" />

Unfortunately the only way is to use the following code in your Global.asax: MvcHandler.DisableMvcResponseHeader = true;
This is an old post but no marked answer. I was able to achieve this using the code below. In your global.asax.cs we can remove any header.
protected void Application_PreSendRequestHeaders()
{
if (HttpContext.Current != null)
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Headers.Remove("x-aspnet-version");
}
}
