I need the ability to examine the POST data from a request, examine it, and either respond to it or close the connection without returning any result, not even a 200 OK status.
The reason for this is because I’m getting overwhelmed with thousands of invalid requests per second, which are racking up bandwidth fees. The requests can’t be traced to an IP address, so I can’t just block them in a firewall or Apache - I need to actually use logic in my Tomcat app to figure out which requests to respond to. Is there a way to force Tomcat to just drop the connection and close the socket without sending a response? --Jesse Barnum, President, 360Works
