DataPower platform needs to return response headers to enhance security

Security guidelines dictate that all secured services return certain response headers such as below to enhance security. But DataPower appliance currently does not return them. 

Content-Security-Policy
X-Content-Type-Options
Strict-Transport-Security

Ideally they should be returned by the platform itself by default without the need of manually injecting them in individual services.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit this idea for enhancement. While each of these headers are recommended for certain security practices, it should be noted that not all clients /use cases utilise the headers. So for some use cases they would break existing clients. Besides, DataPower already supports for adding various headers to the response. On this occasion we are declining this Idea. However we also acknowledge that a way of recommending the users to inject certain response headers to enhance security would be useful.
