Answer 1

Haven't used it in a while but the server_version field should do the trick.

class MyServer(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def _setHeader(self):
        self.send_response(200)
        self.server_version = "Server: NameYouWant"
        self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8')
        self.send_header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', "*")
        self.send_header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true')
        self.end_headers()

You can override the class variables server_version and sys_version:

class MyServer(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    server_version = 'MyServer/1.2'
    sys_version = 'MyProgram/3.4'

This will produce the header: Server: MyServer/1.2 MySoftware/3.4
