Given that you can't avoid accepting connections on a useful web server, you will not be able to prevent them from going through their natural lifecycle. > Chris, Thanks. I finally chose to write my own endpoint/HTTP protocol handler to better address the use case of immediate connection reset under load conditions. The acceptor logic in custom code simply closes socket when there's no free worker available. You'll notice in current implementation of tomcat JIOEndpoint, that the acceptor thread waits for a free worker thread instead. Timir
