Description
I want to clear the server information from the Nginx response header "Server". I tried following things:
more_set_headers 'Server: my-server';
more_clear_headers 'Server';
But somehow, it is not hiding a Server header and showing nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) as full details on the server. Any idea?
The header works fine for clearing other headers such as "Content-Type" or "Content-encoding" but not working for "Server" header.
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior with the shown more_set_headers and more_clear_headers directives against an Nginx response. Start by tracing how the module handles the Server header compared with Content-Type and Content-encoding, then verify that the completed behavior matches the request to hide the full Server value.
