Is there a possibility to remove request headers without interference to grok or any other **filter** plugin?

My guess is to edit response\_headers but I didn't find the proper way to do it.

Sorry, I don't get it. Why would the response headers interfere with any filters? And in what way are you finding editing `response_headers` difficult? What are you trying to do?
