HTTP / Proxy / Security Headers

Custom HTTP response headers.

How it works

This section lets an administrator add custom HTTP headers to every response MyConnection Server (MCS) sends. It is typically used to apply security response headers such as a content security policy. Choose from a list of common headers or enter your own.

Warning: MCS is a purpose-built web service, not a general web server such as IIS or Apache. Some headers can impose restrictions that interfere with normal MCS operation, so add them one at a time and confirm testing and administration still work.

Adding a header

Pick an entry from the Add header drop-down and click Add header to append it to the list. The drop-down includes common presets:

  • X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  • Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'
  • X-XSS-Protection HTTP: 1; mode=block

Choose Custom to type a header of your own. To start from a preset and adjust it, select the preset and click Edit, which copies it into the custom field where you can change the value before adding it.

Select any entry in the list and click Remove to delete it. Click Save changes at the bottom of the page to persist the list.
