Question

      </customHeaders>

If some one can help me with, on how to adding this server parameter for IE if the server is not IIS or Lamp stack, Rather jetty or tomcat?

Answer 1

In jetty you can use the rewrite handler to add a header.

http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/jetty-handlers.html#rewrite-handler

Or if you are using servlets you can just use a servlet filter, since this is a part of the servlet spec it would work on jetty or tomcat.
