Linerate : HTTP response modification

Hello,

I am trying to catch cliResp to replace its 'Server' header with proxyhost. And bind it to servResp to send it to a client. My script below does not work. I get fpm.on listener is triggered. But when it receives response, I do not see fp.on is kicked in, so no header modification is done. What is wrong with it ?

"use strict";
var fpm = require('lrs/forwardProxyModule');
var os = require('os');
var proxyhost = os.hostname();

fpm.on('exist', 'myForwardProxy', function (fp) {
    console.log('fpm.on');
    fp.on('response', function onResp(servResp, cliResp, next) {
            cliResp.bindHeaders(servResp);
            cliResp.setHeader("Server", proxyhost);
            cliResp.pipe(servResp);
            console.log('response modified');
            next();
    });
});

Thanks, Kimihito.

    I have got it working.

    "use strict";
var fpm = require('lrs/forwardProxyModule');
var os = require('os');
var proxyhost = os.hostname();
var processRequest = function(servReq, servResp, next){
    servReq.on('response', function processResponse(cliResp){
            cliResp.bindHeaders(servResp);
            servResp.setHeader("Server", proxyhost);
            cliResp.pipe(servResp);
            console.log('response modified');
    });
    next();
}
var createCallback = function(fp) {
    fp.on('request', processRequest);
};
fpm.on('exist', 'myForwardProxy', createCallback);

    Curl from client. 'Server' is modified from 'Apache/2.2.22 (Debian)' to 'myLinerate'. It is placed in the end of response header. It actually looks removing and adding, instead of 'modifying'.

It works! This is debian server 
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

    Without the script, it was...
