How to remove eTag from IIS5 HTTP headers

Running IIS5 (yes indeed). I would like to remove the eTag HTTP header that IIS generates for me. MS has an article on how to sync eTags across a web farm, but not how to uninstall it ( http://support.microsoft.com/?id=922733 ).

Is there a way to remove eTags?

AFAIK there is no easy way to remove the etag of web resources like images, css or js files from IIS 5. Since each of the etag values ​​are restored on every subsequent refresh of the web browser, which is not necessary since there cannot be any changes on those web -resources.

You might want to try EtagFix, but it doesn't remove the etag, but it stabilizes the etag values, so they don't change until the web resources are changed.



EtagFix stabilizes the etag that Internet Information Services (IIS) generates so that it does not change every time the web server is restarted.

Go to Inetmgr and in website properties, go to the HTTP Headers tab and add a custom HTTP ETag header with no value.
