 This will remove the `X-Response-Foo` header from the response before it is returned to the gateway client.
 
+To remove any kind of sensitive header you should configure this filter for any routes that you may

 === RewritePath GatewayFilter Factory
 The RewritePath GatewayFilter Factory takes a path `regexp` parameter and a `replacement` parameter. This uses Java regular expressions for a flexible way to rewrite the request path.

 NOTE: When using the retry filter with a `forward:` prefixed URL, the target endpoint should be written carefully so that in case of an error it does not do anything that could result in a response being sent to the client and committed. For example, if the target endpoint is an annotated controller, the target controller method should not return `ResponseEntity` with an error status code. Instead it should throw an `Exception`, or signal an error, e.g. via a `Mono.error(ex)` return value, which the retry filter can be configured to handle by retrying.

 == Global Filters
 
 The `GlobalFilter` interface has the same signature as `GatewayFilter`. These are special filters that are conditionally applied to all routes. (This interface and usage are subject to change in future milestones).
