Hello Oleg,
Thanks a lot for your answers.
But there is still something unclear for me.
When you said that I am able to throw an unchecked exception in the handle
method. In this case:
- does it means that the server will be shutdown automatically ?
- will the HTTP response be received by our product ? (don't think so but
prefer to check with you)
Best Regards.

Sort of. It is still unclear why the server could not return KO status to the
client instead of shutting down.
We do a lot of integration tests using HttpCore embedded server but there was
never a need to to let the server go down without sending back a response to
the client

Yes, from the handler method.

It is a period of time when the server stops accepting new connections
but allows active connections to complete ongoing exchanges.

Yes.

#shutdown should be enough.
