Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: Joomla! 2.5.7 Stable [ Ember ] 13-September-2012 14:00 GMT
PHP version: PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze9
MySQL version: 5.1.61-0+squeeze1-log
Admin Tools version: Admin Tools Professional 2.3.2

Description of my issue:
Hello, unfortunately, does the function is limited.
When I enter my page at the following URL appears the real and the fake value.
http://gsitecrawler.com/tools/Server-Status.aspx (Show all server header fields)
The result:
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3-7 + squeeze9, lucky (lucky is the fake value)
Thus, all real values ​​are read and this function has no meaning?

This is a known issue, caused by a change in Joomla!'s API. You can open plugins/system/admintools/admintools/pro.php and change this line:
JResponse::setHeader('X-Powered-By',$poweredby);

to read
JResponse::setHeader('X-Powered-By',$poweredby, true);

I will fix that in the next version of Admin Tools.

Sorry, this change has no effect. The issue is still the same.
The result again:
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3-7 + squeeze9, lucky (lucky is the fake value)

Do you have another idea?
Thx.

That would mean that something's broken in the Joomla! Platform. Unfortunately I can't do anything to fix that as it would break Joomla!'s session management :(

I see. But then this feature is unnecessary and only irritated. It is better to remove the feature in the Pro version completely. What do you think?

Yes, it will be phased out. I was waiting on an API change which would allegedly fix this, but I guess it didn't work as I expected. Too bad. I'll have to remove the feature altogether.
