[Wolfi Package Request]: nginx-mod-http-headers-more

[chinkung]

What software would you like us to add to wolfi-os. Ideally include a URL to the project and its source.

This module allows NGINX to set, add, and clear arbitrary output and input headers. Unlike the standard add_header directive, this module works for all status codes (including 401, 404, 500, etc.) and allows for the removal of built-in headers like Server. It is a critical component for security hardening and custom header manipulation in production NGINX environments.

which versions of the software should we include?

0.39

Add some justification for why this specific package and versions are important.

The standard NGINX add_header directive is restricted to specific HTTP status codes (2xx and 3xx) by default. The headers-more module provides critical functionality for production environments:

• Universal Header Control: It can set or clear headers for any HTTP status code, including error pages (401, 404, 5xx), which is essential for consistent security policies.
• Security Hardening: It allows for the easy removal of the Server header to prevent information leakage.
• Request Manipulation: It can modify input (request) headers, which is often necessary when NGINX is used as a reverse proxy for legacy upstream services.
• Industry Standard: This module is included by default in the OpenResty bundle and is a standard requirement for many containerized NGINX stacks.
