Answer 1

Without seeing your complete vhost.xml, my guess would be that you put your new HTTPProvider last in the list of HTTPProviders.
When the server processes http requests it starts at the first one and tries each one. The RequestFilter for the provider that returns the server info is "*" which means no providers after this one will get called. This is usually the last one. Do make sure yours is before this one.

Answer 2

Please put your HTTPProvider entry in vHosts file before following block:
<HTTPProvider>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPServerVersion</BaseClass>
<RequestFilters>*</RequestFilters>
<AuthenticationMethod>none</AuthenticationMethod>
</HTTPProvider>
Otherwise all of your request will give Wowza version details.
So, your final vhost file's end should look like:
<HTTPProvider>
<BaseClass>com.domain.appname.CreateApp</BaseClass>
<RequestFilters>CreateProducerApp*</RequestFilters>
<AuthenticationMethod>none</AuthenticationMethod>
</HTTPProvider>
<HTTPProvider>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPServerVersion</BaseClass>
<RequestFilters>*</RequestFilters>
<AuthenticationMethod>none</AuthenticationMethod>
</HTTPProvider>
