# connect-powered-by

This middleware sets or removes the `X-Powered-By` header on HTTP responses.

`X-Powered-By` is a de facto standard that specifies the technology supporting

a web application.  This header is used by services that gather metrics about

the web, including [Alexa](http://www.alexa.com/) and [Netcraft](http://www.netcraft.com/).

## Installation

    $ npm install connect-powered-by

## Usage

To set the `X-Powered-By` header on responses, simply use `poweredBy` middleware

with a technology string.

    var poweredBy = require('connect-powered-by');

    app.configure(function() {

      app.use(poweredBy('Locomotive'));

    });

To remove the `X-Powered-By` header, use `poweredBy` middleware and specify

`null` as the technology string.  This is useful if you want to remove this

header when it is set unconditionally by your application framework, for example

[Express](http://expressjs.com/).

    var poweredBy = require('connect-powered-by');

    app.configure(function() {

      app.use(poweredBy(null));

    });

## Tests

    $ npm install --dev

    $ make test
