Delete a response header not working OnBeforeResponse

[Blanco]

Hi,

 I'm trying to remove the "Accept-Ranges" header before sending the response back to the client and I've added

oSession.oResponse.headers.Remove("Accept-Ranges");

to the OnBeforeResponse but it's not working (i.e. I still see the header in the response to the client).  I'm accessing a direct link to download the file. Something like:

http://acme.com/file1.dat

Thanks,

Blanco

Hi, Blanco--

The typical explanation here is that you have the Stream option set in Fiddler's toolbar (or have otherwise enabled response streaming). In such a situation, the event handler in question (non-intuitively, but for good reasons) runs after the response is returned to the client. You can either disable streaming, or put your code in the OnPeekAtResponseHeaders handler instead. That handler always runs before the client gets content.

Hi Eric,

I added the code into the OnPeekAtResponseHeaders and it worked like a charm.  Many thanks for your help!
