Hello Oleg,
Our test case is asynchronous and our test requires that the testing entity
has to be an HTTP client and an HTTP server but not at the same time.
1) Our testing entity, as an HTTP client, sends a request to our product.
2)Then asynchronously, after a certain amount of time, the product sends an
HTTP request to our testing entity (HTTP server)
3) The testing entity has to check the request received . Test is OK if the
payload received matches the expected payload and KO if not.
In this configuration, this is up to the HTTP server to determine if the
test is OK or KO.
Is it clear ?
We have to perform this several times and have to set a test result each time
=> this is why we have to shut down the HTTP server after receiving a bad or
good HTTP request.
When you said "throwing an unchecked (runtime) exception", where do we have to
do this ? In the HttpRequestHandler.handle method ?
But in such case, will the product received the entire HTTP response ?
BTW, I have another question about HTTPServer shutdown method which takes a
grace period as an argument.
I haven't found so much explanation looking at the java doc. So, could you
explain me please, what is the meaning of this grace period ?
If we want to perform a hard shut down, do we have to set this value to 0 ?
Do we have to perform a stop + shutdown HTTPServer calls or a shutdown call is
sufficient ?
Thanks in advance for your help .
Best Regards.

One should be able to do so by throwing an unchecked (runtime) exception but
why would you want to shut down the server from a request handler in the first
place? Would not it be massively cleaner and easier to just a return a proper
response and let the caller decide whether or not the server should be shut
down?
