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()

Thanks for your answer but it's not working , is there any another trick ?. — Shamim Shaikh, Sep 07 '20 at 06:04
