Hello,

I'm observing an odd situation where restlet is involved: pull the net
cable during file upload and router (hardware box, not Router.class)
detects TCP RST attack and blacklist our server for access from subnet.

This is the topology:
- office subnet: client application
- office router: NAT
- remove server: Apache HTTPS proxying to localhost
- remove server: Restlet with default HTTP connector

The behavior can be consistently reproduced with our setup and access to
remote server is temporarily blocked to entire office subnet. The client
application makes a GET and then a POST w/ a big file, so that I have
time to pull the plug, and that's it.

I tried reading a bit about TCP RST attack but so far I do not know how
to avoid this problem, except for disabling the attack detection in the
router or telling people not to pull the plug during upload. If anybody
has some insights to share, I appreciate.

Thanks,
Diego
